Header Paragraph

The following is an extract of the article Beyond the Millennium Development Goals: Positioning Cancer Control in the Post 2015 Agenda published in Cancer Control 2014: Cancer Control in Emerging Health Systems.

With the expiry date of the Millennium Development Goals fast approaching in 2015, the cancer community has a unique opportunity to influence the framework for the successor development goals, and ensure that cancer prevention and control are no longer sidelined. The adoption of the UN Political Declaration and Non-communicable Diseases in 2011, which recognized NCDs as a global health and development priority, has helped to raise public awareness and created a strong political mandate on which to build future advocacy efforts at the global and regional level and nationality. These efforts must be supported through innovative partnerships within and beyond the cancer and health field; the recently updated World Cancer Declaration provides a shared vision on which to build collaborative partnerships, within the NCD framework, but also for reaching out to new players in the broader health and development community.
