The Hellenic Cancer Federation - ELLOK is organising its 10th Annual Conference on February 2, 3, and 4, titled People at the Centre - Bridging Pathways of Care, which will take place at the Wyndham Grand Athens.

The date of the Conference, as every year, is aligned with the World Cancer Day (February 4th) and serves as a key reference point for highlighting critical issues in health and cancer care. At a time of international instability and increasing pressures on health systems, Greece has made significant progress in public health and in the care of oncology patients. However, ensuring the sustainability of the health system requires targeted structural reforms, improved access to modern therapies, investment in the healthcare workforce, and the adoption of artificial intelligence to create a more effective, equitable, and human-centred health system.

In this context, the 10th Annual Conference of the Hellenic Cancer Federation aims to highlight European and national challenges, propose realistic solutions, and strengthen meaningful dialogue among policymakers, the academic and scientific community, the health industry and patient representatives.
