UICC On Air – Closing the Gap in Cancer Care - World Cancer Day 2022-2024 Campaign Theme launch

While we live in a time of awe-inspiring advancements in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, many people who seek cancer care hit barriers at every turn. Income, education, geographical location, and discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and lifestyle are just a few of the factors that can negatively affect care. The new World Cancer Day theme, #CloseTheCareGap, is all about raising awareness of this equity gap that affects almost everyone, in high as well as low- and middle-income countries, and is costing lives. The panel discussion is moderated by HRH Princess Dina Mired, Immediate Past President of UICC, mother of a cancer survivor and global anti-cancer advocate. She introduces the new campaign by leading an engaging discussion with speakers who are strong and inspiring leaders in their field, each bringing important and diverse perspectives to the topic of inequities in global health and cancer care. Speakers: Paul Farmer – Co-Founder and Chief Strategist, Partners In Health Philippa Kibugu Decuir – Founder, Director, Breast Cancer Initiative East Africa (BCIEA) Inc. Moderator: HRH Princess Dina Mired – Immediate Past President UICC, Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)
