Phnom Penh’s accession to C/Can represents a major step forward in Cambodia’s work to improve access to better cancer care and reflects a national commitment to addressing the country’s growing cancer burden. Cambodia currently faces 15,000 new cases a year, with a particularly high rate of cervical cancer, but the partnership with C/Can will enable Phnom Penh to develop locally focused solutions that can be rolled out nationwide.
