2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which led peace in Northern Ireland. As well as its impact on peace and reconciliation, the Good Friday Agreement has also had a lasting positive impact on cancer research and cancer care across the island of Ireland. Pursuant to the Good Friday Agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the respective Departments of Health in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the US National Cancer Institute (NCI), giving rise to the Ireland - Northern Ireland - National Cancer Institute Cancer Consortium, an unparalleled tripartite agreement designed to nurture and develop linkages between cancer researchers, physicians and allied healthcare professionals across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the US, delivering world class research and better care for cancer patients on the island of Ireland and driving research and innovation in the US.
2023 年是《耶稣受难日协议》签署 25 周年,该协议促成了北爱尔兰的和平。除了对和平与和解产生影响外,《耶稣受难日协议》还对爱尔兰岛的癌症研究和癌症护理产生了持久的积极影响。根据《耶稣受难日协议》,爱尔兰、北爱尔兰和美国国家癌症研究所(NCI)的卫生部门签署了谅解备忘录(MOU),成立了爱尔兰-北爱尔兰-美国国家癌症研究所癌症联盟,这是一项史无前例的三边协议,旨在促进和发展爱尔兰、北爱尔兰和美国的癌症研究人员、医生和相关医疗保健专业人员之间的联系,为爱尔兰岛的癌症患者提供世界级的研究和更好的护理,并推动美国的研究和创新。
