IARC – International Agency for Research on Cancer / World Health Organization shared a post on LinkedIn:
“‘Egypt has shown us that elimination is not an abstract aspiration—it is an achievable goal. But it is also a milestone, not the endpoint’
IARC Director Dr Elisabete Weiderpass delivered the Keynote address during the World Hepatitis Day event hosted by Ministry of Health and Population – Egypt.
Congratulations to Egypt.
Your extraordinary leadership in the fight against viral hepatitis —screening millions and ensuring access to treatment— and your cancer control programmes, have restored health and hope to millions.
They are a global success story and offer a powerful example to us all on what is possible when political commitment, scientific evidence, and community engagement are aligned around a shared public health goal.”
