National cancer screening and prevention programs in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face several challenges related to their unique characteristics and healthcare systems. Specific challenges include population size, health system governance and service delivery, data management, research, financing, and care and treatment policies. Addressing these challenges in SIDS requires a comprehensive and multi-stakeholder approach. Collaborative efforts involving governments, international organizations, NGOs, and the private sector can help overcome some of these obstacles. Additionally, SIDS may benefit from sharing best practices and lessons from similar contexts to develop tailored cancer screening and prevention strategies. This conference is an opportune forum to highlight these challenges to key stakeholders and, together, formulate comprehensive solutions. We all have an important role in addressing these challenges, so let's participate virtually or in person. #NCDs #Cancer #cancerprevention #Health #Advocacy
