Worldwide, deaths from cancer exceed
those caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), tuberculosis, and
malaria combined. Seventy percent of deaths due to cancer
occur in low-and middle-income countries, which are often
poorly prepared to deal with the growing burden of chronic
disease. Over a period of 18 months, the cancer care and
control South-South knowledge exchange brought together a
group of stakeholders from five countries in Africa -
Botswana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia to share
experiences, lessons, and good practices through a set of
video conferences and a site visit to Zambia. All five
countries have demonstrated commitment, initiated various
cancer control and cancer screening programs, and expressed
interest in sharing their experiences. The knowledge
exchange on cancer care and control aimed to raise
awareness, increase knowledge of effective strategies, and
strengthen regional collaboration in cancer control planning
and expanding equitable access to cancer treatment. This
paper presents highlights of the country experiences shared,
common challenges discussed, and innovative solutions
explored during the knowledge exchange. Topics addressed
include population-based surveillance and data collection to
better document the burden of cancer; strategies for
designing and implementing successful national cancer care
and control programs; innovative approaches for
strengthening cancer prevention efforts such as human
papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination programs; task sharing and
other strategies to build capacity and increase access to
services; analytical tools for understanding the costs of
programs; financing models, including public private
partnerships, to increase cancer prevention and care; policy
reforms needed to improve access to palliative care; and
opportunities for regional collaboration. |
