It will be a demonstration of the Government’s commitment to continue to prioritise the several challenges posed by cancer diseases including the forecasted increase in the annual number of new cases and in the expenditure on cancer-related treatments from the introduction of new and more sophisticated treatment modalities including access to emerging and innovative cancer medicines.
