Yesterday, March 13, SACC-DC participated in the US-Sweden Cancer Summit at the House of Sweden. It was a significant day as Sweden’s Minister for Health Care, Acko Ankarberg Johansson, and the US Deputy Secretary, Andrea Palm from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), renewed and implemented an Agreement on Cancer research, prevention, control, and management. This renewed collaboration signifies the deepening bilateral partnership in health and life sciences, particularly in addressing cancer. Moreover, it reflects an effort to bridge the gap between cancer research and implementation.

In conjunction with this, SACC-DC hosted a delegation from the Swecare Foundation and held a seminar on FDA Regulatory and Reimbursement issues.
