City Cancer Challenge announced its new research initiative during the WHA77 to address disparities
City Cancer Challenge shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Between 2016 and 2020, a staggering US$24.5 billion was invested in cancer research globally.
However, solely 0.5% of the investment was allocated to research addressing cancer in LMICs, which bear 75% of the cancer burden.
Today, C/Can announced its new research initiative during the WHA77 to address these disparities.
The research agenda aims to create global evidence on cancer care in LMICs whilst implementing locally-led interventions, supporting the translation of evidence into policy at both city and national levels.”
