City Cancer Challenge (C/Can) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A cancer patient’s outcome often comes down to a single question: Is the health system actually ready for them?
Effective cancer care isn’t just about having the right medicine available. It requires a seamless, uninterrupted pathway:
- Timely referral and diagnosis and referral
- Integrated treatment planning (surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy)
- Safe delivery, monitoring and long-term follow-up
When any link in that chain breaks, patients face delays and fragmented care.
That’s why the C/Can Readiness for Access to Oncology Medicines programme, supported by Amgen, focuses on addressing gaps and strenghtening service readiness for optimal care so that oncology medicines can deliver their expected benefits to patients.
After launching in Asunción, Kumasi, and Nairobi, we are proud to welcome Phnom Penh as the fourth city to join the programme.
Because when a health system is built to handle the journey, equal access becomes a reality.”
