Our cities
Abidjan
Côte d'Ivoire
Cancer is a growing concern in Côte d’Ivoire, with over 21,000 new cases and 14,000 deaths in 2022. Abidjan joined C/Can in 2025 to take action to improve access to quality cancer care through local and global collaboration.
Unlocking cancer care with C/Can
Our unique approach empowers Abidjan to assess, plan, and implement sustainable cancer care solutions that scale from the local to the national level.
Uncover the gaps
When a city joins the C/Can network, we start by diagnosing the city’s health system, investigating gaps in the city’s cancer care, and building a foundation for change by bringing local stakeholders together to lead the transformation.
Power the system
We co-create a strategic plan and a programme with each city driven by local priorities. Locally-led projects are executed and monitored to ensure lasting impact. When projects conclude, we support cities to sustain and accelerate their progress.
