In the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations, there is a notable shortage of both physician and non-physician oncology professionals, including oncologists, medical physicists, radiotherapy technologists, and oncology nurses. This shortage is primarily caused by inadequate education and training programmes. Oncology professionals across SAARC countries face several challenges, including a scarcity of trained personnel, poor health-care infrastructure (including resources and equipment), and insufficient educational opportunities. This Series paper examines the current state of oncology education and training programmes within the SAARC region, identifies the challenges faced by oncology professionals, and offers recommendations for improvement. Short-term strategies focus on developing a skilled, multidisciplinary oncology workforce and enhancing existing training programmes. In the long term, the goals are to establish self-sufficient cancer care systems, promote regional collaboration, and strengthen research infrastructure. Achieving these objectives will require comprehensive approaches, increased financial resources, advanced cancer care infrastructure, and innovative educational models. Regional and international collaborations are essential to raise awareness of cancer as a major public health concern, advance prevention and early detection efforts, and bolster research initiatives.","PeriodicalId":22865,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Oncology","volume":"484 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142760274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These factors contribute to disparities in timely diagnosis and treatment, leading to poorer health outcomes. Health-care systems within the region vary considerably, ranging from free public health care in Sri Lanka to predominantly out-of-pocket expenses in Bangladesh, highlighting inequities in financial access and service delivery for patients within this region. The absence of comprehensive national health insurance systems imposes substantial financial burdens on patients with cancer and their families, often resulting in catastrophic health-care costs. Paediatric oncology services reflect these disparities with greater clarity. Although Bangladesh has developed multiple treatment centres, issues such as delayed diagnoses and financial barriers persist. By contrast, countries such as Afghanistan and the Maldives have few specialised paediatric oncology services, necessitating costly referrals abroad that place large strains on families. Geriatric oncology remains underdeveloped across most SAARC nations, with few dedicated services and guidelines. Despite progress in India and Sri Lanka, gaps in specialised training and holistic care for older patients remain. Addressing these disparities requires coordinated efforts, including improving health-care infrastructure, expanding insurance coverage, and fostering regional collaborations. Implementing comprehensive national cancer control programmes across SAARC nations, leveraging intercountry networks, and ensuring political commitment are essential to achieving equitable cancer care and advancing Sustainable Development Goals in the region.","PeriodicalId":22865,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Oncology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142760276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
