Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for an estimated 10 million deaths in 2020[7], or nearly one in six.
Whilst common in the developed world, what is less recognized and understood is the significant growth of cancer across the developing economies of the Global South.
A mere two decades or so ago, the percentage of new cases was similar across regions. Today, almost two-thirds of new cases arise in low- and middle-income nations and this could reach 70% by 2050.[8]
Treatment for cancer is expensive and access to affordable medicines and therapies is one of the key challenges that needs to be addressed. Jameel Health, together with our partners, is ready to play its part.
