Overview of Delivery of Cancer Care in Nepal: Current Status and Future Priorities

JCO Glob Oncol. 2020 Jul:6:1211-1217. doi: 10.1200/GO.20.00287.

Abstract

Nepal is a small, low-income country between India and China with a unique health care delivery system. Cancer is becoming an important public health problem in the country, but a systematic plan to cancer control is lacking. In this article, we aim to provide a systematic assessment of the burden of disease and available resources and suggest prioritization approaches for the future to assist with any such future cancer control plans for the country.
