Cancer kills more people in poorer countries than HIV, TB and malaria combined, but has no global fund. A pooled fund for diagnosis, essential medicines and radiotherapy would change what ministries can afford to build.
Development assistance for health has largely bypassed cancer. Despite rising burden in LMICs, there is no multilateral financing instrument for cancer services comparable to the Global Fund or Gavi. A financing window, whether a new fund or a cancer envelope inside an existing one, would co-finance national cancer control plans with conditions on registries, essential medicine availability, and palliative care. The design questions are governance, co-financing ratios, and how to avoid crowding out domestic spending.
