The program provides guidance to countries on establishing effective cancer control strategies and promotes research and education to understand cancer better. It also addresses disparities in cancer care, ensuring that resources are available to low- and middle-income countries. Overall, WHO's efforts aim to reduce the burden of cancer and improve survival rates through coordinated international action and support for health systems.
