The Access to Oncology Medicines (ATOM) Coalition, led by the Union for International Cancer Control<\/a> (UICC), has released its first Health Financing Case Studies series. Focusing on Georgia<\/a>, Kenya,<\/a> the Philippines<\/a>, and Zambia<\/a>, these studies explore how low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) are financing cancer care within broader efforts toward universal health coverage (UHC). With high out-of-pocket costs limiting access to oncology medicines, the studies provide policy recommendations to strengthen sustainable financing systems for essential cancer medicines and diagnostics.<\/p>\n

This initiative comes as cancer deaths are projected to rise in LMICs, with 75% of global cancer-related deaths expected to occur in these regions by 2030. The case studies identify both best practices and gaps in financing strategies, serving as a guide for policymakers and health partners to develop more equitable access pathways.<\/p>\n

The launch marks a critical step in shaping evidence-based financing strategies to address the growing cancer burden in LLMICs. As Sarbani Chakraborty, Technical Advisor for Health Financing at ATOM Coalition, emphasised, \u201cCancer is a global crisis, but its burden is not shared equally.\u201d The insights aim to drive sustainable solutions for oncology care financing.<\/p>\n
