Cancer Prevention & Early Detection

Nearly half of all cancers can be prevented through healthy choices and regular screening. When cancer is detected early, treatment is more effective and survival rates are highest. At BCHC, we're committed to giving every person in Bermuda the knowledge, tools, and access they need to prevent cancer or catch it early—when it matters most.

Eat Well Bermuda: Dietary Guidelines

From the Bermuda Department of Health

The goal of the Bermuda Dietary Guidelines is to increase knowledge of healthy options that can easily be incorporated into a healthier lifestyle for all Bermudians aged two years and older.

The guidelines display a visual representation of the variety and proportion of food needed to maintain health and serve as the basis for nutrition messages developed by nutrition educators and health professionals.
