Title: Technical Cooperation Manager (Readiness for access to medicines program)

Location: Switzerland, EU, UK (remote)

**About City Cancer Challenge**

City Cancer Challenge Foundation (C/Can) supports cities around the world as they work to improve access to equitable, quality cancer care.

The approach is built on the core principle that cities can drive impact at national level by crafting data-driven solutions with the support of a network of global, regional, and local partners that reflect an understanding of the unique local context.

C/Can was launched by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) at the 2017 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos. It was established as a standalone Swiss foundation in January 2019.

**About the readiness for access to medicines initiative**

Access to cancer medicines in low
- and middle-income countries (LMICs) presents a critical challenge marked by multifaceted barriers, including limited infrastructure, regulatory complexities, financial constraints, and inadequate healthcare systems. These hurdles significantly impede timely and equitable availability of essential cancer medicines, exacerbating disparities in cancer care and hindering optimal patient outcomes in LMICs.

The Readiness for Access to Medicines Program led by City Cancer Challenge is a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing healthcare systems, particularly by focusing on comprehensive preparedness and systemic capacity to deliver systemic cancer treatment. This initiative is designed to ensure equitable and timely access to essential medicines for cancer treatment within the network of C/Can cities. By employing a comprehensive health systems strengthening approach, the program addresses multifaceted challenges associated with access to cancer medicines, fostering a systemic improvement. Emphasizing needs assessments, stakeholder engagement, policy and regulatory enhancements, capacity development, and sustainable planning, the initiative aims to create a robust framework. Through these efforts, we seek to overcome barriers, improve access to cancer care medicines, and fortify health systems for long-term impact in our target cities.

The program is currently active in Asunción (Paraguay), and the plan is to expand its reach to several C/Can cities across various geographies, promoting widespread impact and sustainable change.
