Needs and challenges in Rosario

A multidisciplinary technical committee of local experts and institutions is currently undertaking an analysis of the state of cancer care in the city and identifying essential priorities.

Sustainable changes in cancer care access cannot be achieved by one organization alone. Our alliance with C/Can builds on a unified mission of improving access to equitable and quality cancer care, as well as a shared belief that through multisectoral collaboration, we can drive impactful solutions and make a lasting difference.
