“Today, we welcome participants to Day 1 of the Cancer Planners Forum in Geneva, Switzerland.

The day ahead includes presentations, on-stage country experiences, and table discussions on the following topics:

Making the investment case
Defining components of success
Engaging key stakeholders
Setting objectives and priorities
Reviewing the EU Beating Cancer Plan

Opening the Forum, Filip Meheus, Lead at WHO-CHOICE, set the tone for the day:

‘Understanding the pressures that countries are facing is key to understanding why we need cancer control. Countries are not powerless – there are choices, and there are solutions. “
