Tezer Kutluk, Henrik Grigoryan, Andre Ilbawi, Bente Mikkelsen, World Health Organization, Gevorg Tamamyan, Jemma Arakelyan.
These global leaders in oncology, global health, and humanitarian aid have come together to highlight the critical challenges faced by cancer patients living in war zones and other conflict-affected regions.
We’re grateful to The Lancet for publishing this Manifesto, which we hope will drive much-needed action and policy change to support cancer care access and quality in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Please take a moment to read and share this important piece widely.”
