Layth Mula-Hussain, Radiation Oncologist at BC Cancer, shared an update from Eastern Mediterranean NCD Alliance, on LinkedIn, adding:
“From Fragmented Cancer Services to Integrated, People-Centred Cancer Care: A Much-Needed Conversation
Cancer care in the Eastern Mediterranean Region faces challenges that go far beyond the availability of advanced treatments. Fragmentation of services, inequalities in access, limited resources, and gaps in coordination continue to affect cancer outcomes and patients’ experiences.
I strongly believe that the future of cancer control is not simply about building more cancer centres or acquiring more sophisticated technologies. It is about building connected, equitable, sustainable, and people-centred systems of care.
No patient should be disadvantaged by geography, socioeconomic circumstances, or the lack of coordination between healthcare providers.
I am pleased to be part of this important discussion organized by the Eastern Mediterranean NCD Alliance during London Global Cancer Week 2026, bringing together regional and international perspectives on transforming cancer care.
I look forward to exchanging ideas and exploring practical solutions that can translate our shared ambitions into meaningful improvements for patients across the region.

My appreciation to the organizers and fellow participants for advancing this important dialogue.”
