  • The World Health Organization (WHO) has released the Global Status Report on Cancer 2026.

  • It recommends seven actions under three strategic shifts: better capabilities, better protections, and better value to improve cancer care.
  • The report calls for integrating cancer control into Universal Health Coverage (UHC), strengthening the health workforce, and ensuring equitable access to quality cancer care.
  • It emphasises a people-centred approach by placing people affected by cancer at the centre of policies and reducing inequalities in cancer prevention, treatment, and survival.
