The Cancer Alliance call to ACT NOW for Close The Equity Gap to Leave No One Behind

Salome Meyer, Independent Consultant at Private, shared a post by Sharon Kapambwe, Technical Officer of Cancer Control at the World Health Organization, on Linkedin:

”This work is extremely relevant for Republic of South Africa. The insightful evidence compliments the Health Systems Trust Review: Strengthening Cancer Services.

The Cancer Alliance (South Africa) call to action to ACT NOW for Close The Equity Gap to Leave No One Behind is of relevance as this paper underscores the importance of an integrated health system and addressing diseases in a non-siloed approach.

Sharon Kapambwe – Coffee chats in person or virtual, leads to many actions.

Thank you for paving the way in Africa for changes through World Health Organization that can be effectively implemented and integrated.”

Quoting Sharon Kapambwe‘s post:

” Just got published. From a coffee chat in Lyon to actual commentary in JCO.

The impact of cancer in our setting is usually seen from the patient’s perspective but cancer affects all those connected to the patient in a multidimensional way across the intergenerational family.

Thank you Hannah Simba for ensuring this got published.”
