The Cancer Transition
Mirrors the epidemiological transition
LMICs increasingly face both infectionLMICs increasingly face both infection-
associated cancers, and all other cancers.
Cancers increasingly only of the poor, are
not the only cancers affecting the poor.not the only cancers affecting the poor.

20. The Diagonal Approach to
Health System Strengthening
Rather than focusing on disease-specific vertical
programs or only on horizontal systemprograms or only on horizontal system
constraints, harness synergies that provide
t iti t t kl di ifi i itiopportunities to tackle disease-specific priorities
while addressing systemic gaps.
Optimize available resources so that the whole is
more than the sum of the partsmore than the sum of the parts.
Bridge the divide as patients suffer diseases over aBridge the divide as patients suffer diseases over a
lifetime, most of it chronic.

26. Solution:
‘Diagonalizing’ Delivery
Harness platforms by integrating breast and
cervical cancer prevention, screening andcervical cancer prevention, screening and
survivorship care into MCH, SRH, HIV/AIDS,
social welfare and anti poverty programssocial welfare and anti-poverty programs.
Examples: Harnessing the primary level of care
• Integration of breast
and cervical cancer
awareness and screening
into the national anti-
poverty program
