A city where cancer care meets the needs of those most affected.

There are 18.1 million new cancer cases and more than 9.6 million cancer deaths worldwide each year, and these numbers are increasing drastically. With 54% of the world’s population living in cities, we believe cities are uniquely positioned to drive sustainable innovation in the delivery of cancer care—and health services in general—to large populations.

A city where we all have the same chance of survival.

A city where we all have access to quality cancer care. Where you live, your gender, social or economic status make no difference to your quality of health care.
