We work with cities to strengthen the foundations of cancer care—supporting health systems by enhancing infrastructure, clinical coordination, and the capabilities of healthcare professionals.
To contribute to the organisation’s gender equity strategy, C/Can has put together a working group to generate recommendations on how to build gender-responsive health systems.
“Civil society plays a vital role in building an inclusive, responsive, and accountable health system. We are proud to take part in this transformative initiative and are determined to ensure that the voices of communities—especially those most affected by cancer—are heard and integrated at every stage of the process.”
“This partnership with the Ministry of Health marks a turning point in our approach to cancer control in our country. By working with C/Can and involving our local experts and communities, we are committed to implementing sustainable, data-driven improvements so that no one is left behind in their cancer journey.”
“This second edition of the program will build on the experience gained from the first edition as we continue to explore and analyse strategies for investing in women oncologists to ensure the sustainability of C/Can's work in the cities. We also aim to learn more about effective ways to support women in leadership roles and contribute to closing gender disparities in the healthcare sector.”
“The findings from this research will be instrumental in refining the technical cooperation programme, ensuring that our support is tailored and effective for the specific needs of the cities we serve.”
“Through C/Can, we have an unparalleled opportunity to ensure that progress made in cancer care at a city level will benefit the most people in both Abuja and the rest of Nigeria.”
