DESCRIPTION: Join Us at the UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs: Advancing Nation
 al Cancer Control Plans (NCCPs) for stronger health systems \n\n Cancer co
 ntinues to rise as a critical public health challenge\, with low- and\nmid
 dle-income countries (LMICs) bearing a disproportionate share of the\nburd
 en — accounting for over 70% of global cancer deaths. As the\ninternatio
 nal community prepares to implement the 2025 Political\nDeclaration on Non
 -Communicable Diseases (NCDs)\, strengthening National\nCancer Control Pla
 ns (NCCPs) presents a pivotal opportunity to build\nmore resilient\, equit
 able\, and effective cancer care systems. \n\n This timely side event\, ho
 sted by the Union for International Cancer Control\n(UICC) will convene go
 vernments\, civil society\, UN agencies\, and\nprivate sector partners to:
  \n\n \n Highlight the critical role of NCCPs in improving cancer outcomes
  and integrating cancer care within national health systems. \n Discuss co
 llaborative\, system-wide strategies to improve access to essential oncolo
 gy medicines. \n Facilitate\ncross-sector dialogue on sustainable\, scalab
 le approaches to expand\naccess to quality cancer and NCD services\, parti
 cularly in\nresource-limited settings. \n \n\n By aligning national cancer
  strategies with broader health system\npriorities\, we can accelerate pro
 gress toward universal health coverage\nand reduce global inequities in ca
 ncer care. \n\n Join us for this vital conversation and help shape a futur
 e where equitable\, comprehensive cancer care is a reality for all. \n\n B
 runch will be available from 9am to 10am followed by a 75-minute session.
