On World Cancer Day UICC has launched an interactive tool, the Global Cancer Commitments Navigator, to better help policy makers and cancer and NCD advocates build understanding of the links between international time bound commitments and priority actions for national impact. This tool helps navigate between essential global documents such as Global Action Plan on NCDs, WHO’s cost-effective recommendations for NCDs, and the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2017 cancer resolution, using linkages to build compelling arguments for national action in terms of:
- Prioritising evidence-based approaches and a core package of services for impact on patient outcomes
- Prioritising cost-effective interventions
- Integration of cancer control efforts with NCD plans
- Integration of cancer control efforts with infectious disease, child and maternal health services
- - Opportunities for a whole-of-government approach
