Hellenic Cancer Federation – A Step Forward for Cancer Policy in Greece and Europe!
Hellenic Cancer Federation (ELLOK) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A step forward for cancer policy in Greece and Europe!
On July 2nd, the Hellenic Cancer Federation-ELLOK, newly designated as Greece’s Cancer Mission Hub, co-hosted the policy dialogue “Addressing the Burden of Lung Cancer through National Planning”, in partnership with the ECHoS EU project with the support of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies.
The dialogue brought together national and international experts – academics, clinicians, policymakers, researchers, patient representatives and stakeholders from the public and private sector– to discuss evidence and exchange insights including:
- The lung cancer screening process – what works, what needs to be done
- Bridging primary and specialist care – developing a lung cancer pathway with the patient in mind.
With valuable contributions from WHO Athens, IARC WHO, WHO Regional Office for Europe, ECHoS | Establishing of Cancer Mission Hubs: Networks and Synergies and the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, the discussion offered clear direction for national planning that will have patients and citizens, prevention and data-driven innovation at its core.
As Greece’s Cancer Mission Hub, ELLOK is committed to further advancing national cancer strategies in alignment with the EU Cancer Mission and EBCP, ensuring that patients and citizens contribute to shaping a more equitable and effective cancer care landscape.
The report with the conclusions of the policy dialogue will shortly be published. Stay tuned!
Special thanks to Hugo R. Soares and Anabela Isidro for their excellent collaboration in co-organising this important event and to Florian Tille for expertly guiding the insightful discussion.
A big thank you to speakers and attendees for participating in a policy dialogue that set the pace for impactful change.”
