Youth Cancer Europe shared on LinkedIn:
“Youth Cancer Europe organised a High-Level Roundtable in the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, engaging decision-makers and representatives from an EU accession country.
Hosted by Dr. Belîi Adrian, Head of the Health Commission, the roundtable brought together the Ministry of Health, the National Cancer Control Programme, the Moldovan Oncological Institute, The Little People Romania andLife without leukemia.
Moldova’s healthcare achievements in cancer care, including progress in early diagnosis, digitalisation, and rural access, were highlighted during the roundtable, alongside ongoing challenges such as limited system interoperability, underdeveloped patient advocacy, and the impact of regional crises.
The event also showcased the progress made through the European Network of Youth Cancer Survivors EU co-funded project, advancing cancer care policy and patient advocacy across Europe. Discussions centred on making cancer care more inclusive, addressing access in rural areas, language barriers, neurodiversity, health literacy, and support for marginalised groups.
Youth Cancer Europe shared key resources, including the ‘Recommendations for Equitable, Diverse, and Inclusive (EDI) Cancer Care’ Policy Paper, insights from the EDI Training Toolkit, the ‘Minimum Standards of Specialist Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Care Units’ Position Paper, and practical tools for improving inclusive care for young people with cancer.
Building on this momentum, we look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together towards shared priorities and joint initiatives.”
