Hosted by The Eastern Mediterranean NCD Alliance , this convening aimed to spotlight women’s cancers, leverage collective efforts to steer discussions towards actionable outcomes, and advocate for gender-sensitive approaches in closing the gap between policy development and implementation in the EMR.

Drawing upon the IHE-IAPO Breast Cancer Report and the Lancet Commission on Women, Power, and Cancer, this gathering also aims to galvanize the EMR political commitment and cooperation in ensuring women’s cancer remains a central focus on the agenda of the upcoming UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs in 2025.

We want to express our gratitude to all the esteemed speakers and attendees for their active participation and fruitful discussions to improve cancer care and prevention for women in our region.
