Breaking barriers: addressing inequalities in cancer prevention and care

17 June 2025 12:00 – 13:00 CET

Tuesday 17 June 2025 (12:00-13:00 CET)

Cancer is one of Europe’s major health challenges, with rising incidence and persistent inequalities across and within countries. Strengthening cancer care is therefore a key priority. The Learning From Progress In Addressing Cancer In Europe (OBS-PACE) project, builds on an international network of cancer experts to identify good practices, barriers, and enablers to inform EU and national cancer policies and investments. In this webinar we will present learnings from this action by focusing on innovative cancer-related policies, and find out about the health system enablers and barriers that shaped their implementation. Join us to discuss how other countries can build on these experiences!

Speakers:

Béatrice Durvy, Technical University Berlin, Germany (Keynote)  

Antun Aboud, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia

Lidia Villanova, Alliance against Cancer, Italy

Maria Gillespie, Health Service Executive, Ireland

Domenico Fiorenza Glanzmann, DG SANTE, European Commission


Moderators: Florian Tille (European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies) & Louise Junge (Technical University Berlin )
