City Cancer Challenge (C/Can) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“At the 2025 AORTIC- Africa Conference, C/Can’s stakeholders showcased how city-led action is redefining the design, delivery, and sustainability of cancer care in low- and middle-income countries, through a plenary session and two poster presentations.
Our work highlights the power of locally led research and multi-sectoral collaboration to build more resilient, equitable cancer care systems.
From stakeholder engagement to implementation research, C/Can-supported cities are demonstrating that city-led action works, offering scalable models for cancer control across Africa and beyond.
Research is most impactful when it starts and ends in the communities it serves.
With stronger local capacity and strategic partnerships, cities are transforming research into a driver of system-wide change, ensuring that data and evidence directly shape more equitable cancer services.
Because what succeeds in cities can scale to nations and reshape global cancer control.”
