Empower Her: Advancing Women’s Cancer Care in Asia Pacific

Women in Asia are diagnosed with cervical cancer at a disproportionately higher rate than the global average. Despite early diagnosis leading to more effective treatment, many factors in the region prevent women from receiving the care that they need, and the consequences are severe, affecting not only women as individuals, but society at large. 

Delve into new insights from Impact and opportunity: the case for investing in women’s cancers in Asia Pacific report, a whitepaper from The Economist Impact. 

There is an urgent need to address cervical cancer in the Asia Pacific region

Addressing the rising burden and mortality of cervical cancer and the unique disparities facing women in Asia Pacific

In Asia, cervical cancer accounts for almost 3 in 5 new cases amongst women globally.

Identifying priority areas for action, including surveillance, prevention, screening, and education

The burden for cervical cancer can be mitigated, but the current regional response is inadequate and deserves urgent attention.

Exploring how our region can tailor policy approaches
to improve equitable access

The patient journey remains fragmented despite existing effective interventions, diagnostics, and technology across the cancer prevention, treatment and care spectrum.

Taking action in order to make progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals

There remains a  need for a regional platform that adopts a multistakeholder perspective with coordinated action to mobilize women’s cancer interventions effectively and holistically across Asia.
