Our mission is to improve cancer care access in underserved countries

Listen to the Chair of Elekta Foundation, Cecilia Wikström, sharing mission and focus of the foundation.

We have an impactful role to play in:

  • Closing the cancer care inequity gap and uphold the right for everyone to high quality and equitable healthcare.
  • Encouraging partnerships between governments, private sector, research institutes and NGOs to tackle the burden of cancer.
  • Empowering women and adolescent girls to get screened for cancer and have access to health services.
  • Increasing awareness on cancer in LMICs when most international AID programs in Africa focus on infectious diseases (HIV, Malaria or Tuberculosis).
  • Bringing our expertise (beyond radiation therapy) on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
