Dr Sanjeev Arora speaks to ecancer about powering equity in cancer care through digital health.

Global cancer care faces major inequities, especially in cervical and breast cancer, leading to high mortality rates. There is a significant opportunity for cervical cancer prevention, but vaccine adoption is challenging in low-income countries.

Digital technologies, like portable ultrasounds and telemedicine, are vital for early diagnosis. Training community health workers online enhances cancer care.

Dr Arora highlights several ways in which cancer awareness and care can be improved in low-middle-income countries through projects like the ECHO project, which utilises digital technologies to train healthcare workers and also creates awareness about cancer prevention and screening.
