Alarming New Findings from Anticancer Medication Samples from Sub-Saharan Africa – UICC

Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) shared a post on LinkedIn:

In the pursuit of equitable cancer care, medicine quality is non-negotiable.

UICC and the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners (ISOPP) commit to transforming the insights from this investigation into actionable change and call for better quality and safety at every level of the supply chain to protect patients.
