Safeguarding cancer care in Budget 2022

IT is that time again when policymakers at the Finance Ministry are putting together the national budget for the coming year. This process typically involves gathering input from different stakeholders, representatives from various industries and even the public.

Those living with cancer, their caregivers and healthcare professionals are hoping that Budget 2022 will be more transparent and clearer when it comes to allocations for cancer treatment and care, especially as the country’s attention would still be focused on rebuilding the economy after the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic. This would be a bad time to under-invest or cut spending on cancer, however.
