Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 29 January 2017: European CanCer Organisation (ECCO) Congress
The Health Policy Partnership will work closely with leading stakeholders across Europe as part of a focal new policy initiative in cancer care; All.Can. The group has been set up to engage decision makers and improve policy responses to address one of the most pressing issues for healthcare systems in the 21st century, that of improving efficiency in cancer care – namely by focusing on what matters most to patients.
