Our organization is well-known in the country for working in promoting the right of cancer patients to access better treatment services and fulfillment of other social and economic rights. As a result, our organization is being considered by many as the major driving force behind important measures taken in the country to prevent and control NCDs in general & cancer in particular.

MWECS is actively working in so many cancer and non-communicable diseases-related activities, particularly in raising public awareness of cancer, its prevention and treatment possibilities. In addition, our society has been ardently working to improve treatment conditions and support cancer patients.

Our Society began its quest by focusing its initial efforts on pediatric cancer and has been implementing cancer impact mitigation project since 2010. So far, our society supported more than 476  pediatric, cancer patients /without including their accompanying parents/ and 86 pediatric patients at present without including their accompanying parents.

As of recently, our society started working on women cancers as one of its main focus areas and towards these ends, started working with the Federal Ministry of Health /FMoH/, government and non-government organizations to join forces intended to challenge the growing burden of women cancers which account for more than 50% of all cancer mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia.
