FMG is partnering with Melanoma New Zealand to help prevent avoidable suffering and deaths from melanoma. New Zealand has the highest incidence rate of melanoma in the world where more than 4000 are diagnosed with melanoma and aproximately 300 people will die each year, more deaths than from road traffic accidents. Melanoma New Zealand CEO, Andrea Newland says heightening the awareness in New Zealand’s rural communities of how to protect your skin when outdoors, and the importance of having a regular skin checks, will save lives. The team at FMG will be helping to share Melanoma New Zealand’s key prevention and early detection messages, education, and advice through its connections into rural communities. This includes at events like regional field days, A&P shows, and at the National Fieldays. At the FMG National Fieldays site people can see the amount of sun damage to their skin with a UV camera and collect a record card to take to Melanoma New Zealand’s site for a free spot check.
