Launch event: Joint letter on COVID-19 and cancer

Dear ECPC Members,

ECPC started a global campaign on the Joint letter on COVID-19 and cancer and invited stakeholders around the globe to endorse the letter. It will be launched during World Health Day on Wednesday, 7th April from 18:00 to 19:00h CET in a virtual event. You can register via this link.

During the event, representatives from the European Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC), the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries (EFPIA) Oncology Platform and the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) will participate at the meeting.

The event will focus on the impact that COVID-19 has had on cancer and the innovations in cancer care as well as the improvement of cancer patient outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual meeting is dedicated to media representatives as well as the general public.

We have reached more than 260 signatories but a lot of you are still missing. We would like our members to endorse this letter. It is a great opportunity to show unity around a relevant issue for cancer patients and the health community more broadly.

You can do so by filling in this form. Do not forget to attach your logo so it can be included in the letter!

Please, find the final agenda of the event here.

We look forward to e-meeting you!
