OECD Forum Series 2022: Closing the Cancer Gap: Towards Better Screening and Treatment
The 2022 edition of the OECD report Health at a Glance: Europe focuses on the direct and indirect health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most significant shock that most people and health systems in Europe have faced in the last 75 years, and leading to the largest drop in life expectancy observed since World War II.
We must now look towards rebuilding and healing, and think longer term about the mistakes made, the gaps exploited by the virus, and how best to prepare and respond the next time. This is particularly true in the fight against cancer.
