Join us on 23 February as we launch the new All.Can policy blueprint "Building efficiency in cancer care", together with MEP Tomislav Sokol , European Commission DG SANTE Cancer Team leader Matthias Schuppe , Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) Head of Knowledge, Advocacy and Policy Sonali Johnson, and our All.Can International Members & National Initiatives representing patient, healthcare professional, academic, and industry perspectives. 

For All.Can, efficient cancer care delivers the best possible health outcomes using the human, financial, infrastructural and technological resources available, with a focus on what really matters to people with cancer and to society. Efficiency is not a means to cut costs: the resources freed through increased efficiency should be re-invested to advance innovation or increase system resilience.        

Efficient cancer care benefits everyone and it has never been more important. COVID-19 has delayed diagnoses, compromised treatments, and curtailed research – and health systems now face a large backlog of cancer cases. The pandemic has also underscored the vital need to strengthen health systems' resilience through efficiency gains. Our virtual launch on 23 February will:

• Introduce the new All.Can 'Building efficiency in cancer care' blueprint as a common, broadly applicable framework to support collaborative policy action to improve efficiency in cancer care, for better patient outcomes and more sustainable healthcare systems.
• Highlight the importance of sustained political will and multi-stakeholder collaboration at international, national and local levels to share, adapt and scale good practices shown to improve cancer care efficiency.
• Seize the momentum around the landmark EU policy initiatives in the area of cancer, including the Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and the Horizon Europe Mission on Cancer, and show why tackling inefficiencies across the entire cancer care continuum is key to their success.

We look forward to your participation in this interactive discussion.
