Working in partnership

UICC organises the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in partnership with key stakeholders, including the World Health Organization, International Atomic Energy Agency, International Agency for Research on Cancer and UICC member organisations.

A fundamental principle underpinning the Summit is that cancer is a global health crisis, which demands cooperation across many disciplines, cultures, industries and societies. Cancer affects everyone and does not recognise boundaries.

UICC seeks a range of partners to help reverse the Global Cancer Epidemic, including:

• Cancer survivors and their families

• Cancer prevention, treatment, research and advocacy organisations 

• Heads of state and royalty 

• Policy makers, politicians and ministries of health

• UN agencies 

• Academics and thought leaders 

• Media outlets 

• Representatives from other key health-focused civil society organisations

• International development agencies

• Philanthropic foundations

• Individual donors

• Private sector
