Bringing together National and European parliamentarians who are committed to beating cancer and tackling inequalities in cancer on a national and European basis, this new Network for political action will: 

  • Heighten political understanding of the inequalities in cancer care requiring priority attention across Europe 
  • Identify key legislative and other opportunities for targeted action to reduce inequalities in cancer care, including at both national and European level 
  • Convey political consensus and recommendations from politicians across Europe united in shared resolve to improve the fight against cancer in all European countries 
  • We are committed to reducing inequalities in cancer care and addressing the most pressing cancer policy issues across Europe 
  • We use the latest country data and evidence to inform our discussions, decisions, and policy solutions 
  • We listen, learn, and recognise that while each country faces its unique cancer challenges, working together we can make important steps to solve them 
  • We share best practices openly and foster collaboration and expertise-sharing 
  • We work to empower each other to drive change in cancer care
