European Cancer Organisation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“In a world where the unimaginable is no longer unthinkable, the cancer community must be ready to deliver care No Matter What.
This year’s session, organised by the Emergencies and Crises Focus Topic Network, explores:
- expert experiences in conflict-ridden areas like Ukraine and Palestine,
- growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, the second leading cause of death after cancer itself, and
- lessons from COVID-19, including workforce shortages and the need for real-time data.
‘No healthcare system in the world is ready for full-scale war, and neither should it be,’
said Eric Adrien, Policy Officer for Emergency Response Operations at the European Commission.
‘Despite all the constraints, the Ukrainian national cancer control strategy includes early detection and screening programmes, HPV cancer elimination and prevention programmes,’
added Arman Kacharian, Medical Director of the National Cancer Institute in Ukraine.
‘Let’s ensure that in the darkest moments of war, no one facing cancer is ever left behind,’
said Kathy Oliver, Co-Chair, European Cancer Summit & Co-Chair, Patient Advisory Committee, European Cancer Organisation (ECO) & Chair and Co-Director, International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA).
Together, we push for unity and coordinated action at the European level, and for resilient cancer care.”
