Dégi László Csaba: Cancer is a global challenge that demands a global response
Dégi László Csaba, President of the European Cancer Organisation, shared on LinkedIn:
ECO’S PRESIDENT | THE YEAR AHEAD
As we enter 2025, I believe the time has come to say it clearly: we need a United Nations International Agency for Cancer Control (UNIACC). Cancer is a global challenge that demands a global response.
UNIACC would be the first dedicated UN body to tackle cancer comprehensively, coordinating efforts, addressing financing gaps, and ensuring that every country—especially those in low- and middle-income regions—has the resources and support to fight this disease. This is not just a vision; it is a necessity.
We also see the need for more robust collaboration—not only within the European Union but also between the EU and the United States. Both begin the year with new health responsibilities and leadership, including the appointment of a new EU Health Commissioner and a new American Secretary of Health.
