Isabel Mestres: Kigali and Nairobi are working very hard to Close The Care Gap
Isabel Mestres, CEO at City Cancer Challenge Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I am returning home tonight after celebrating World Cancer Day in Kigali and Nairobi, where I could witness how both cities are working very hard to Close The Care Gap.
A local journalist asked me how can cities close the cancer care gap
My response:
People-Centricity: Patients voices should be heard, and actions should follow.
Systems Thinking: Local interventions must take a holistic approach, considering the dynamics of the entire healthcare system.
Data-Driven: Informed decisions are crucial. Evidence and context matters.
Locally-Led: Empower local stakeholders to take charge of decision-making processes in their cities.
Multi-Sectoral Approach: All sectors and disciplines should be around THE table. This is not a one-single actor game.
With the support of all our partners, City Cancer Challenge is taking these principles into actionable steps and collectively working towards a world where access to quality cancer care is a reality for everyone.
Thank you to all our partners!
Thanks to the incredible C/Can team in the ground for your leadership & commitment Beatrice Okumu, Marlene Mumukunde and the regional director Sophie Bussmann-Kemdjo.”
