National Cancer Plan 2023-2028

Introduction:

As Lebanon faces challenges deeply impacting its health system, it's with a sense of resolve and hope that I write this introduction to Lebanon’s inaugural National Cancer Plan.
 
Born out of an earnest collaboration with national and international experts, this plan represents our unwavering dedication to rekindle hope, dignity, and zest for life among those affected by cancer.
 
It is a meticulously designed blueprint that encompasses not only prevention, early detection, and state-of-the-art treatment, but it also addresses the emotional well-being of patients and communities.
 
We commit ourselves to fortify our healthcare infrastructure, foster continuous learning for healthcare professionals, and invest in research and technology.
 
Moreover, recognizing the financial burden cancer places on patients and their families, we vow to work alongside stakeholders to create sustainable financial solutions.
 
Through this plan, with the maxim “that they may have life and have it more abundantly” guiding us, we embark on a journey towards a future where cancer care is holistic, accessible, and fosters a life lived with health, happiness, and optimism.
 
Together, through collaboration and compassion, we shall light the path ahead.
 
Dr Firass Abiad
Minister of Public Health
