Isabel Mestres: Patients Must Be the Guiding Picture in Building Better Cancer Care Systems

Isabel Mestres, CEO of City Cancer Challenge (C/Can), shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Tuesday Reflection: The Picture on the Puzzle Box.

This weekend, my 12y old son and I were working on a 5,000-piece Pokémon puzzle, and I must have looked at the picture on the box a hundred times! Today, as I was preparing my presentation for the EUROPA DONNAThe European Breast Cancer Coalition Conference, my mind went back to that simple act of constantly referring to the picture on the puzzle box.

Because at City Cancer Challenge (C/Can), we are also bringing together many different pieces to build stronger cancer care systems. And just like with any complex puzzle, we need a clear picture to guide us. That picture should be the patients and their families. They are the reason every piece matters.

Thank you, Marzia Zambon, for the invitation. I look forward to meeting all the participants and listening to their personal stories. I know I will return with a clearer picture in mind, one that will guide me as we continue building better systems, piece by piece.”
