Key Takeaways from the Financing of Global Cancer Care Event at LGCW

London Global Cancer Week shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Read The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Key Takeaways from the Financing of Global Cancer Care Event at London Global Cancer Week.

Cancer cases are projected to rise from 20 million to 35 million annually by 2050, with low-income countries bearing a disproportionate increase. Investing in cancer care is essential for both high- and low-income regions, as returns can exceed costs.

Universal Health Coverage should include cancer care as a core component, ensuring broader access to essential treatments.

Sustainable cancer care funding should rely on national governments rather than short-term donor aid, strengthening long-term support for patients.

‘Sin taxes’ are a potential funding source for cancer care, though they may face opposition from industry and politicians.”
