Helping to Meet Challenges Experienced by Patients & Caregivers

South African Cancer Advocacy Toolkit

CANSA supports the new South African Cancer Advocacy Toolkit, based on the Photovoice research outcomes of Dr Lynn Edwards and Linda Greeff. This research captures the felt needs and experiences of a representative sample of cancer patients and caregivers in South Africa. Our partner, the Cancer Alliance has distilled this into nine Priority Areas of concern, which also align with the UICC World Cancer Declaration. For each Priority Area the Toolkit provides fact sheets, policy briefs and notes on how to meet the challenges, aimed at policy and decision makers. These are supported by sample stories drawn from the Photovoice research.
