War on Cancer 2017 will present new thinking on scaling up the

response to cancer in lower and middle income countries and

innovative ways to finance cancer control in Asia. The Forum

will provide an opportunity to re-think how governments, the

international community and the private sector can

accelerate the funding of improved cancer care. The event

will tease out which cancer interventions make best sense, and

how they can be efficiently and sustainably financed.

The conference will bring together regional cancer and

healthcare stakeholders for a wide-ranging and robust

discussion with the broader finance community—with finance

ministry officials, global and regional experts in financing

healthcare, and private-sector financing and investment,

including philanthropic and impact investors.

KEY TOPICS:

• A global or regional fund for cancer control?

• Innovative financing for cancer care in Asia

• Access to cancer medications, palliative care and scaling

up radiotherapy and surgery

• Winning with vaccinations?
