Malaysia
Greater Petaling joined C/Can a year after Malaysia hosted the World Cancer Congress, with the goal of maintaining the momentum of this global event and improving cancer survival rates in Malaysia, which are low compared to other upper-middle-income countries. Specifically, Greater Petaling is aiming to improve cross-city collaboration, promote knowledge-sharing and build on Malaysia’s strong political commitment to strengthen cancer care.
Unlocking cancer care with C/Can
Our work begins with a locally-led needs assessment, bringing together city stakeholders to identify gaps in cancer care through data-driven analysis. By understanding the city's unique context, we saw where intervention is most needed to achieve transformational change in cancer care.
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.
