The Japan National Committee for the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and UICC - Asia Regional Office organized an international session as part of the 74th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cancer Association on the topic "What are the implications of sharing the concept of Universal Health Coverage for cancer in Asia?" Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is included in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and aims to ensure that all people can receive high-quality medical services, are protected from public health risks, and are prevented from falling into poverty due to medical costs or loss of income arising from illness. The session discussed the growing cost of cancer and the challenges that this poses to the establishment and deployment of UHC in the Asian region, where countries face budgetary and other systemic constraints in tackling and controlling cancer. It was noted how sharing concepts on UHC will assist mutual learning among Asian countries and help in the formation of guidelines that can be adapted to national and regional realities. Presentations included a status report on UHC for cancer control in Thailand, and a report from the WHO Kobe Centre concerning prospects for collaborative research on UHC. Also discussed were the current status of cancer burden and control in China and Korea and Japan's progress in systemizing cost-effectiveness evaluation. The final presentation highlighted the importance of gathering social and economic data across Asia in order to build a picture of commonalities and differences in the region.
日本国际癌症控制联盟（UICC）国家委员会和UICC亚洲区域办公室组织了一场国际会议，作为日本癌症协会第74届年会的一部分，主题为“在亚洲分享全民健康覆盖理念对癌症意味着什么？”全民健康覆盖（UHC）包含在联合国可持续发展目标中，旨在确保所有人都能获得高质量医疗服务，免受公共卫生风险影响，并防止因医疗费用或因病导致的收入损失而陷入贫困。会议讨论了癌症治疗费用不断增加的问题，以及这给亚洲地区建立和实施全民健康覆盖带来的挑战，因为该地区各国在应对和控制癌症方面面临预算及其他系统性限制。会议指出，分享全民健康覆盖理念将有助于亚洲国家之间的相互学习，并有助于制定适合国家和地区实际情况的指导方针。发言内容包括泰国癌症控制全民健康覆盖的现状报告，以及世界卫生组织神户中心关于全民健康覆盖合作研究前景的报告。会议还讨论了中国、韩国的癌症负担及控制现状，以及日本在系统化成本效益评估方面的进展。最后一个发言强调了收集亚洲社会和经济数据以了解该地区共性和差异情况的重要性。
