From Global Call to Local Change: Isabel Mestres on Women, Cancer, and Equity
City Cancer Challenge (C/Can) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The 2023 Lancet Commission on Women, Power, and Cancer was a wake-up call: women are more than patients. They are caregivers, decision-makers, and economic drivers. At City Cancer Challenge (C/Can), we asked ourselves:
How can cities turn these bold global recommendations into real impact for women in LMICs?
The answer is our Women and Health Strategy: a framework to embed equity into quality cancer care solutions, rooted in local realities and designed for global impact.
In the latest issue of Resolve Global Health, Isabel Mestres presents three regional perspectives, based on insights from our Regional Directors Sophie Bussmann-Kemdjo, Chika Kitajima, and Maria F Navarro, which highlight the barriers women face and demonstrate how we are implementing this strategy with context-appropriate solutions.
Timely diagnosis, equitable treatment, and inclusive care should not be the exception, they must be the norm.”
