Policy Work
Youth Cancer Europe is committed to speak with a single representative voice of young people with cancer and together with other relevant stakeholders, through strategic partnerships in Europe, engage with EU policy-makers to influence the European health and research policies
Together we can help shape European policy, collaborate in and promote research, fight for better access to care, for better treatments, better conditions and help fix disparities that exist across Europe for young people fighting cancer. Youth with cancer must be present from the beginning when setting any kind of agenda for research and policymaking, to ensure that priorities are in line with patients’ priorities. We can provide decision makers first-hand with the patient perspective.
