On 3 November, the Lung Cancer Policy Network – along with member organisations the Asia Pacific Coalition Against Lung Cancer (APCLC) and Asia Pacific Policy Review and Engagement (ASPIRE) for Lung Cancer – are co-hosting a webinar on transforming lung cancer policy into action in Asia Pacific.
Asia Pacific reports the highest incidence of lung cancer in the world. The region faces unique challenges, with varying risk factors and health systems across different economic and social settings.
This year there have been developments in lung cancer policy around the world, including recommendations such as the Asia Pacific Lung Cancer Policy Consensus. The challenge lies in determining how to implement these recommendations effectively.
This session will:
- spotlight the latest policy breakthroughs and regional recommendations
- highlight real-world success stories in advocacy and stakeholder engagement
- provide practical, actionable strategies to help you lead change in your own community.
Whether you are shaping policy, delivering care, conducting research or championing patient voices, this webinar offers the insights and tools you need to make an impact.
Speakers are:
- Herbert Loong, Clinical Associate Professor, Deputy Medical Director of the Phase 1 Clinical Trials Centre, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
- Judy Li, Consortium Manager, ASPIRE for Lung Cancer, Hong Kong
- Yeon Wook Kim, Assistant Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, South Korea
- Sewanti Limaye, Director of Medical & Precision Oncology and Director of Clinical & Translational Oncology Research, Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, India
- Helena Wilcox, Associate Director of Research and Policy, The Health Policy Partnership, UK
- Francis Goh, patient advocate, Lung Cancer Education and Advocacy for Patients
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the panellists questions during a live Q&A session.
We hope you can join us for this important discussion.
