World CCA Day was previously held on 12 February. However, from 2023 onwards, the awareness day will occur on the third Thursday of each February (16 February 2023). To ensure everyone can take part in raising awareness of CCA, the Global Cholangiocarcinoma Alliance we (GCCA) will be recognising World CCA Week from 12 -18 February.
