Infrastructure That Lasts
Sustainable cancer infrastructure depends on more than equipment. It depends on the people qualified to run it, the supply chains that keep it stocked, and the financing models that keep it operational year after year.
Programmes that have endured share a focus on local leadership, reliable maintenance contracts, and pathways for ongoing professional development.
If a programme cannot survive without external funding, it will not survive. Sustainability has to be designed in from day one.
Pathways Forward
Country-led national cancer plans, regional centres of expertise, and patient-family support mechanisms are the structural pieces that turn one-off projects into lasting capacity.
