Her Royal Highness, Princess Dina Mired of Jordan

It is estimated that by 2030 over 13 million people worldwide will die from cancer every year and almost nine million of these deaths will be in the developing world.

Cancer is on the increase globally. The disease now kills nearly eight million annually, but developing countries are worst hit by the cancer crisis since the resources needed to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease are severely limited or non-existent.

Her Royal Highness, Princess Dina Mired, is the Director General of the the King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF) in Jordan, which combats cancer in Jordan, and the Middle East region.
She is also the Honorary Co-President of the Harvard University Global Task Force for Expanded Access to Cancer Control and Care in the Developing World and is on the Presidential Advisory Panel of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC).
Princess Dina supports the efforts of the IAEA in the field of cancer control in the developing world and was invited to speak about her work and motivations at this year's World Cancer Day event at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
