Thank you Egge van der Poel, it's great having you here! And how beautiful said. Indeed, we are not your typical congress if you can cry, hug, have a 'Pinky Prof' and discuss 'Silent despair'!

OncoInv and Healthcare Systems Mexico have joined forces to make multi cancer early detection available in Mexico. Healthcare Systems Mexico will be an exclusive distributor for OncoInv and will offer OncoSeek® as a novel means of detection of cancer in Mexico. OncoSeek® is a patient-friendly product to detect nine forms of cancer simultaneously based on a blood sample and requires no biopsy or imaging equipment.   “Healthcare Systems Mexico has chosen to work with OncoInv because we recognise the need for early detection of cancer in Mexico, and the excellent innovative solutions that OncoInv can bring to the Mexican market,” said Fernando Mendez, general director of Healthcare Systems Mexico.

Great news! OncoInv partners with Healthcare Systems Mexico to make multi-cancer early detection available in Mexico!

Yes! This week we received good news from The Economist. They have terminated their engagement with the tobacco industry. After a period of uncertainty, The Economist has made a decisive break, and we, as patient advocates, are both relieved and gratified. The toll exacted by this deadly product is so severe that we cannot, under any circumstances, collaborate with organizations maintaining ties to the tobacco industry. Now that The Economist has cut ties with tobacco connections, we eagerly anticipate resuming our cooperation and participating in their conferences to further our shared goals. Thank you for being part of the movement!

Advocacy works! After being informed by the UICC we have, in cooperation with other organisations, contacted participants of other health conferences of the Economist. We informed them about the connection of The Economist with Philip Morris.   The tobacco industry kills 6 million people each year. In this century 1 billion people will die of tobacco and vaping.   Therefore no organisation should receive money from tobacco companies and when they do we ban them.   Let's keep the movement going!

I'm proud to have been one of the first, along with Inspire2Live and Peter Kapitein, to publicly denounce the link between the Economist and the tobacco industry. It's a first victory, but there's still a long way to go. 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀. Together, we made it happen!

Economist Group cancer conference cancelled due to links to tobacco firms This decision stems from the fact that UICC has learned that Economist Impact works with Philip Morris International (PMI) and Japan Tobacco International (JTI),” the union said. “UICC has a longstanding policy of not engaging with the tobacco industry, in alignment with the World Health Organization framework convention on tobacco control” 30% cancer mortality due to tobacco addiction.

Patiënten worden nog te weinig echt betrokken bij beleid en strategische keuzes in ziekenhuizen. Terwijl juist zij bij uitstek weten wat nodig is om zorg en het onderzoek verder patiënt gericht te verbeteren. Om die reden extra dankbaar dat vandaag patient advocate Harry Verbunt is gestart binnen Antoni van Leeuwenhoek als Chief Patients Officer. Hij gaf recent in ICT&health het interview: “Help patiënt wegwijs worden in de zorgjungle”, hier te lezen 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/eraB9Rhs #samensterker Inspire2Live

Together we have achieved that The Economist needed to cancel The World Cancer Series. That’s a good thing. However, this is the first health congress they needed to cancel. Now let’s take care that they either break with the tobacco industry or stop with health care congresses. Patient advocates will never work with organisations that have any kind of relation with the deadliest industry ever.
