3 WHY? Non communicable diseases (NCDs) are now the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Africa. 20% of the deaths from NCDs in Africans over 45 years is predicted to be from cancer. C is now a major public health problem in Africa It continues to be underestimated and ignored resulting in unnecessary deaths and suffering. remains a low priority in African countries. Strong need for cancer advocacy to fight cancer in Africa. 7 "In Africa, literally every day, hundreds, possibly thousands of people die needlessly in pain from cancer for want of pain relief that could cost literally pennies rather than pounds. The basic infrastructure and resources to cope with the new health epidemic is basically not there and we have to do something about it. We know that there is a steam train that is coming down the track and we have a choice we can wither, build some new track or we can wait for the train to hit us." Former British health minister Alan Milburn s statements while chairing the conference on the geography of cancer in Africa (2007). 8 How? Reference: Cancer information and support network. Advocacy 9 3
