""You need the money; you need to know who is going to finance it. You need to get a country's ministry of health to align with its ministry of finance.""
""In 2023, only 27% of NCCPs globally were costed to carry out their plan. This means that roughly three-quarters of all NCCPs are essentially statements of intent.""
National cancer control plans (NCCPs) are government-led strategies for managing cancer care. Between 2018 and 2023, 72 new or updated NCCPs were launched globally, with significant contributions from European and African countries. These plans are tailored to each country's health system and cancer burden but often follow international guidance. A major weakness identified is that only 27% of NCCPs are costed, indicating that many are merely statements of intent. Engaging cancer survivors and advocacy groups in the planning process remains a challenge.
