noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and <a href="/node/25128">universal health coverage (UHC)</a> important gaps remain in access to services and financial protection for cancer patients, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In part, this has been attributed to challenges in mobilising the financial resources and political will needed to scale-up national cancer control activities both nationally and globally.</p> <p>Cancer continues to pose a significant cost to patients and health systems alike, with estimates suggesting that the annual economic cost of cancer is likely to exceed US$1.2 trillion.<a href="#_ftn1" title>[1]</a> This would mean that more healthcare costs are attributed to cancers than all of the 15 leading causes of death worldwide, placing health systems under significant strain. Making the case for increased and focused investment in national cancer control is therefore a pressing advocacy priority for UICC.</p> <p>Modelling data indicates that investing in a core package of cancer services is feasible and affordable in nearly all countries. Investing ambitiously to scale up cancer services to 90% coverage by 2030 would cost US$40 billion. This would equate to investments of US$2.70 per person in low income countries, US$3.95 in lower-middle income countries and US$8.15 in high-income countries (HICs) and has the potential to save 7.3 million lives by 2030. Making these investments could add an additional US$325 billion in direct productivity gains and a further US$990 billion in societal gains by averting preventable cancer mortality.<a href="#_ftn2" title>[2]</a></p></div> </div> </qz-section> </div> </div> <div> <a class="on-page-anchor" id="49470"></a> </div> <div> <div> <qz-section spacing="bottom-small top-none"> <div class="text"> <div><div> <h2><span class="text-orange">Health financing</span></h2> <div class="boxout default box-alignment--right box-color--default box-width--half"> <h3 class="boxout-header">Financing cervical cancer elimination</h3> <div class="boxout-body"> <p>UICC commissioned Thinkwell to conduct an assessment of the status of health financing for cervical cancer elimination in each of the four project countries: Burkina Faso, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, and the Philippines.</p> <p><a class="link-button--primary" href="/node/28099">Learn more about the project</a></p> </div> </div> <p>Financing for health is one of the core building blocks of health systems, and includes three main activities:</p> </div> <ul> <li>Raising funds to invest in health services</li> <li>Reducing financial barriers to access health services across the continuum of care, from health promotion and prevention through to diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care</li> <li>Assessing the distribution of investments to increase the effectiveness of health systems and to reduce inequities.</li> </ul> <p>With the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there has been an even greater focus on health financing as one of the key mechanisms needed to deliver UHC. This provides cancer advocates with a valuable window to call for the integration of cancer services in national UHC plans and budgets. Cancer advocacy can encompass all three aspects of health financing – from campaigning to increase the budget allocated to cancer interventions, to the inclusion of selected cancer services in national UHC packages, or calling for the reallocation of resources to improve access to vulnerable groups.</p></div> </div> </qz-section> </div> </div> <div> <a class="on-page-anchor" id="49471"></a> </div> <div> <div> <qz-section spacing="bottom-small top-none"> <div class="text"> <div><h2><span class="text-orange">Investment challenges</span></h2> <p>Some of the key challenges facing cancer advocates include:</p> <ul> <li>The misconception that cancer control is too expensive or too complicated to deliver, particularly in LMICs, significantly reducing the willingness of governments to invest in cancer control services</li> <li>Limited data on national investment needs.

These include the <a href="/node/25033">2019 UN Political Declaration on UHC</a>, which calls on Governments to ensure financial risk protection as part of UHC and <strong>increase investment in health by an additional 1% of GDP</strong>, the <a href="https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA70/A70_R12-en.pdf">2017 World Health Assembly Cancer Resolution</a>, <a href="https://www.uicc.org/sites/main/files/atoms/files/UICC_GoingBeyond2018_FA.pdf">2018 Political Declaration on NCDs</a>, and the <a href="https://www.un.org/esa/ffd/publications/aaaa-outcome.html">Addis Ababa Action Agenda</a>.</p> <p>These commitments provide a useful framework for advocacy. UHC efforts are being advanced by governments and other stakeholders around the world but a key question remains around how cancers, which often require long-term and more complex care, will be integrated into national plans and budgets. Achieving comprehensive coverage for cancer and other NCDs can pose a significant financial challenge, particularly for LMICs where resources for health are more constrained. While data is limited, particularly for LMICs, it appears that a number of national UHC plans include access to basic cancer diagnostics and limited treatment.</p> <p>In response, UICC is working with our members to advocate for the <em>progressive realisation</em> of cancer control in UHC i.e. the stepwise investments needed to establish and scale-up essential cancer services in countries across all income levels. This requires concerted long-term and evidence-based advocacy that draws on economic data, cancer surveillance and other information to provide a strong case for investment in cancer control, as well as assessments of the costs for populations and the economy if increased investment is not made.</p> <div> </div></div> </div> </qz-section> </div> </div> <div> <div> <qz-section theme="dark_blue" spacing="bottom-small top-small"> <div class="text"> <div><h2><span class="text-orange">Further reading and useful links</span></h2> <h3>Data on health spending:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.who.int/health_financing/documents/health-expenditure-report-2018/en/">Public spending on health: a closer look at global trends</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.oecd.org/dac/financing-sustainable-development/development-finance-standards/official-development-assistance.htm">OECD Development Assistance data</a></li> <li><a href="https://apps.who.int/nha/database/Select/Indicators/en">WHO Global Health Expenditure Database</a></li> </ul> <h3>Investment cases for cancer and NCDs:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://actonncds.org/news/most-countries-could-reduce-ncd-deaths-one-third-if-they-followed-comprehensive-investment">Most countries could reduce NCD Deaths by one third if they followed a comprehensive investment strategy </a></li> <li>2015 Lancet Oncology Commission on Radiotherapy</li> <li>Lancet Commission on Palliative Care</li> <li><a href="https://www.thelancet.com/series/Taskforce-NCDs-and-economics">Lancet Commission on NCDs and economics</a></li> <li><a href="/node/22451">Saving lives spending less report</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bmj.com/NCD-solutions">Solutions for NCD prevention and control</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </qz-section> </div> </div> <div> <div> <qz-section spacing="bottom-none top-small"> <div class="text"> <div><div class="boxout default box-alignment--default box-color--default box-width--default"> <h3 class="boxout-header"><span class="text-navy">References</span></h3> <div class="boxout-body"> <ul> <li><a href="#_ftnref1" title>[1]</a> Knaul FM, Arreola-Ornelas H, Atun R, Mendez O, Guerrero R, Alsan M, Seinfeld J.: Investing in cancer care and control.
