Binay Shah, President of the Binaytara, shared on LinkedIn:
“Today our team met with the methodology working group for Binaytara Global Cancer Equity Index. Very thankful to Dr. Jerry Radich of Fred Hutch for leading the discussion. Excellent job by Jin Mou who leads Binaytara’s research program.
The hardest part of building an index is deciding what to measure.
- Does access mean a radiotherapy machine exists in the country, or that a patient in a rural district can reach it?
- Does a drug count as available if it’s on the national essential medicines list, or only if it’s on the pharmacy shelf?
We didn’t settle everything, but we made real progress. The first Index launches in 2027.
Stay tuned”
