National Cancer Control Policy

A National Cancer Control Policy is a strategic plan developed by a government to reduce cancer's impact on the population. It outlines steps to prevent cancer, improve early detection, ensure effective treatment, and support patients and their families. The goal is to lower cancer incidence and mortality rates through coordinated efforts across healthcare, awareness campaigns, screening programs, and research. By implementing this policy, countries aim to provide equitable, accessible care and improve the quality of life for those affected by cancer.
