The meeting will assemble Government leaders, health finance experts, impact investors and economists from development banks, multilateral institutions, the private sector and academia to engage in high-level panel discussions where they will explore opportunities to harness new financing for quality cancer care through innovative mechanisms.

A focus on sustainable financing solutions for cancer care and treatment is critical to the success of the City Cancer Challenge and all non-communicable diseases (NCDs) initiatives.

With the expertise of the assembled technical experts and with the mentorship of President Tabaré Vázquez and the City of Montevideo, this meeting aims to reach a key milestone for the C/Can 2025 cities in Latin America in terms of moving from assessment and prioritization toward actionable, costed and financed implementation plans.
