Joshua Omale, Pediatric Oncology Advocate, Innovation Council Member at Coalition Against Childhood Cancer (CAC2), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“We collect cancer data. But too often, we fail to move it.
Cancer registries exist in many countries, yet decisions are still made late, blind, or reactive. The problem is not the absence of data. It is the absence of pathways:
- from data to policy
- from evidence to funding
- from reports to action
When data sits in reports instead of shaping budgets, training, and prevention, it becomes historical, not lifesaving. Cancer control improves when data:
- reaches decision-makers early
- is trusted by communities
- and shapes priorities before crisis
Evidence is powerful, but only when systems are designed to respond to it.“
