ATOM Coalition: Health Financing Case Studies – Zambia Case Study

This document provides a comprehensive overview of Zambia’s current cancer care financing landscape, highlighting both the challenges—such as limited government funding, donor dependency, and systemic gaps—and the opportunities presented by recent policy commitments like the National Cancer Control Strategic Plan. It outlines key government initiatives, including decentralising cancer services and expanding NHIMA coverage, and presents recommendations developed with the ATOM Coalition to improve procurement efficiency, enhance financial protection, and secure sustainable funding for oncology medicines and services.
