Françoise Meunier: Delighted to be attending the European Cancer Summit by ECO

Françoise Meunier, Founder of the European Initiative on Ending Discrimination Against Cancer Survivors, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I am delighted to be attending the European Cancer Summit brilliantly organised by European Cancer Organisation today and tomorrow.

I am also pleased that, in today’s panel ‘Stocktaking on Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan: where have we come from, what have we achieved, what are the next frontiers?’ the speakers, including Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides, reiterated their commitment to continue advancing the right to be forgotten in the next Commission.

Another special highlight was ECO’s heartfelt tribute to Commissioner Stella Kyriakides, recognising her remarkable contributions throughout her mandate—it was truly moving and I also take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt congratulations.

If you are attending the Summit and would like to connect to discuss the right to be forgotten or tackling financial discrimination against cancer survivors, come say hello.”
