INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY SERIES CANCER...

This open access edited volume focuses on the scope and benefits of strengthening local
industrial-health linkages. The Covid-19 pandemic collapsed international supply chains for
health. That experience brought home to African policy makers the critical nature of local
manufacturing capabilities for sustaining and strengthening health care  and highlighted the
pandemic benefits of India's much stronger industrial base. At that time  a network of
researchers in East Africa  India and the UK were investigating how to address the crisis of
cancer care in low-resource health systems. Their project  uniquely  focused on the scope and
benefits of strengthening local industrial-health linkages. The project researchers were also
drawn into the pressing demands of Covid19 response. The result is this very timely book. The
authors link their research on cancer to pandemic experience  and they draw sharp lessons for
how countries can enhance their populations' health security. The authors argue that improving
cancer care is crucial for human wellbeing and more inclusive health care. They challenge
policy makers to bring together health needs  health innovations and improved industrial
capabilities to embed better cancer care and broader health system improvement in local
industrial innovation and development.
