Control Programs

Cancer prevention, screening and early detection can provide some of the greatest public health benefits for cancer control. In low resource settings, where cancer control is challenged by limited human, financial and technical resources, cancer prevention and screening are of utmost importance and can provide significant impacts on the cancer burden. Public policies, social, environmental and individual level interventions which promote and support healthy eating and physical activity can lower cancer risks. Tobacco use, a significant cancer risk factor, can be reduced through the application of key mandates of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. In addition, cancer screening programs, namely for cervical and breast cancers, can have a significant impact on reducing cancer mortality, including in low resource settings. Comprehensive cancer control programs require interventions for cancer prevention, screening and early detection, and involve sectors outside of health to create supportive environments for healthy ways of life. Sharing experiences in implementing cancer control programs in different settings can create opportunities for interchanging ideas and forming international alliances.

Low And Middle Income

Amount raised: Background and context: International financial institutions (IFIs), including the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the World Bank Group, multilateral and regional development banks, have played a major role in the social and economic development of low- and middle-income countries. In addition to policy expertise, economic analysis and knowledge products, IFIs provide considerable financial resources to national governments to tackle a wide range of health challenges. Intergovernmental organizations like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) are providing critical support to advance the socioeconomic development of its member states as well. While there have been some collaborative initiatives to work with national governments to address the growing cancer crisis, more could still be done. With the aim of building a coalition of global partners committed to addressing the growing cancer crisis in low- and middle-income member states, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) approached Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and OIC to highlight the lack of access to effective and sustainable radiotherapy in these member states and to explore potential opportunities to jointly assist member states in their efforts to improve cancer control and expand their radiation medicine services. In 2016, the IAEA, the IDB and the OIC formalized their collaboration through the signing of practical arrangements which encompass technical support, resource mobilization and the implementation of joint activities in comprehensive cancer control in common member states. As the international community acknowledges the increasing global cancer burden and includes an NCD-related target in the sustainable development goals, it is imperative for national governments, multilateral and intergovernmental organizations, including IFIs, to work together if the target is to be met. Aim: To share the experiences of the IAEA-IDB-OIC collaboration and its results so far to provide national decision makers and cancer specialists with a framework to engage a variety of critical international players in their fight against cancer. Strategy/Tactics: IAEA-OIC-IDB practical arrangements on cooperation in the area of comprehensive cancer control in common member states. Program process: Bringing IFIs and low- and middle-income member states together to review their financing needs for the implementation of priority interventions in national cancer control programs and to identify resource mobilization opportunities. Costs and returns: Member states cancer control programs funded by the Islamic Development Bank, and potentially, by other IFIs. What was learned: As the international community acknowledges the rising global cancer burden IFIs have increased their interest in working with governments in low- and middle-income countries to fight cancer. It is important for these countries to seize the opportunities provided by this new development.

Multiple Constituencies

Developing and maintaining a comprehensive cancer control program are two distinct entities. Key issues related to building and sustaining cancer control programs include how to integrate initiatives and efforts across multiple constituencies addressing components of the implementation of cancer control and non-communicable disease programs, the processes used in different resource settings to achieve effective drug budgeting, health technology assessment and health economics, and how countries can support public and societal engagement. There are promising examples in both resource-rich and resource-challenged countries of constituencies that have developed programs which can contribute to comprehensive cancer control. Some take advantage of newer technology and information services, while others are more people and patient focused. Critical issues and factors for establishing and maintaining population-based comprehensive cancer control programs are identified and reviewed.
