The World Cancer Declaration 2025–2035 builds on earlier global commitments to reduce the cancer burden by urging governments to ensure equitable access to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care, and to integrate cancer control into global health and development agendas.

The Declaration on Palliative Care in a Pandemic was adopted at the 4th African Ministers of Health Meeting in Kampala, Uganda, on 24th August 2022. Informed by the COVID-19 pandemic, during which many patients died in isolation without adequate physical, psychosocial, or spiritual support, it commits African governments to integrate palliative care for adults and children as a funded component of all national responses to infectious disease outbreaks, embed it within response protocols, train and equip emergency response teams in pain and symptom control, and address patients' needs holistically to reduce suffering for those affected and their families.
