WHO, in a statement, said the survey was part of a broader campaign designed with and intended to amplify the voices of those affected by cancer survivors, caregivers, and the bereaved.

According to it, the survey is part of WHO’s Framework for Meaningful Engagement of People Living with Noncommunicable Diseases’ (PLWNCDs).

It said the framework was a commitment to respectfully and meaningfully engage PLWNCDs in co-designing policies, programmes, and solutions.

“The survey results will feed into the design of policies and programmes to offer better well-being in the context of a cancer diagnosis and co-create solutions for the future,” it said.

The agency’s director-general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, said nearly every family globally was affected by cancer. One in five people are diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime or as caregivers or family members.

Mr Ghebreyesus said a cancer diagnosis triggers a broad and profound effect on the health and well-being of all those involved.

“For too long, the focus in cancer control has been on clinical care and not on the broader needs of people affected by cancer. Global cancer policies must be shaped by more than data and scientific research, to include the voices and insight of people impacted by the disease,” he said. Jamb Result
