Civil society and patient support groups

Embedding civil society into our process is vital to ensuring that the right local stakeholders are engaged, that a strong linkage to the local community is maintained and that any solutions developed reflect the needs of people and their communities affected by cancer.

How civil society and patient support groups make a difference

As a civil society organisation or patient support group, you play a key role in sustaining cancer care projects, evaluating outcomes and uniting local stakeholders to support your city’s efforts.

What civil society and patient support groups can gain

Civil society and patient support groups are at the heart of quality cancer care in cities, but too often they are overlooked in the wider debate on cancer care. Our process places them front and centre.
