Throughout July, UICC will be showcasing the work carried about by some of its more than 1,100 member organisations, starting with an interview with the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) in India, an organisation that addresses medical, social and economic barriers through community-based engagement. 

Advances in early cancer detection are not reaching everyone equally due to persistent barriers and stigma. In this interview, Stephanie Sinclair at Worldwide Cancer Research and Maja Surowicz at Fundacja Onkologiczna Rakiety in Poland, both UICC members, highlight the urgent need for equitable access and public trust. 

UICC’s side event at the National Cancer Congress Malaysia united 30+ organisations from 14 countries to shape the future of cancer control, spotlight regional voices, and contribute to the 2025–2035 World Cancer Declaration.

At the Second Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Forum in Bali, UICC joined global health leaders to reaffirm commitment, share progress, and shape the path forward toward eliminating cervical cancer.
