UICC's path to 2028
UICC plays a unique and important role in the global cancer and health communities.
This business plan builds on recent achievements and outlines a clear path to 2028, aimed at reducing the global cancer burden and promoting greater equity worldwide.
Over the next four years, UICC will work closely with members and partners in all countries to drive action where it matters most: improving access to essential cancer medicines, strengthening health systems, advancing people-centred care, and addressing key priorities such as lung and women's cancers.
This document highlights the areas where UICC is uniquely positioned to lead, ensuring cancer control remains a top priority on the global health and development agenda and delivering meaningful, positive change to the lives of people affected by cancer.
