Local cancer care experts are leading projects designed to respond to the city’s challenges and enhance its capacity to address patient needs.
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.
The initiative was framed by a city-wide needs assessment, one of the key steps for any new city that joins C/Can. This process aims to identify the key gaps and opportunities for improving access to cancer care by systematically collecting data on the quality of local services, and addressing the extent to which patients are placed at the centre of care.
The assessment was overseen by a multidisciplinary technical committee comprising local experts from several different institutions, and identified a range of essential priorities.
Around 10'000 new cases, according to estimates from our cali cancer population registry, will benefit annually from this alliance, which offers unique opportunity for Cali and the Valle del Cauca region to continue working collaboratively for the benefit of all people affected by cancer and their families.
