Fatia Kiyange speaks to ecancer about using human rights law to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Many cancer prevention and control commitments made at global levels can only be achieved using law.

Yet, using the law to advance cancer prevention and control remains underutilised by cancer advocates.

Ms Kiyange explains how the law and legal processes can be used to advance quality improvement across various aspects of healthcare systems and policies for improved cancer prevention, care and outcomes.
