Our partner Aline Coelho gave an interview to Viva to discuss a highly relevant topic for Brazilian public health: the effectiveness of the Mandatory Cancer Notification Law and the impact of the lack of consolidated data on public policy planning.

The specialist explains how the absence of accurate information on cancer incidence, diagnosis, and follow-up hinders the development of prevention strategies, limits the effective allocation of resources, and exacerbates regional inequalities in access to treatment.

The interview also addresses the structural challenges involved in complying with the law, including the need for system integration, adequate training, and oversight mechanisms capable of ensuring the regular reporting of cases.
