The report reveals some successes at the country level amid a marked slowdown regionally with setbacks across indicators on health health risks and determinants and access to services.

These diseases not only have severe health implications but also place substantial burdens on health systems and the broader economy. They affect productivity and result in the loss of women’s societal contributions due to premature mortality. The WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean has developed this regional investment case which provides economic arguments for health ministries to implement and scale up cost-effective interventions. The investment case combines situation and economic analyses: the situation analysis maps available services for women’s cancer prevention and control, outlining opportunities for scaling up relevant interventions, while the economic analysis details the economic and social costs of women’s cancers, including health care costs and costs associated with reduced productivity, including premature death. This analysis also estimates the costs of implementing WHO-recommended cost-effective interventions and calculates the economic returns.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <ul></ul> <div></div> </div> </div></article> </div> </div>  </div> <div id="commands"><label for="slide1"></label> <label for="slide2"></label> <label for="slide3"></label></div> <div id="active"><label for="slide1"></label><label for="slide2"></label> <label for="slide3"></label></div> </div><script type="text/javascript"> var _lofmain = $('icetabs1296');
