We dig into affordability, widening inequalities, and why “reality-stratified” care beats one-size-fits-all blueprints. Richard unpacks adaptive HTA and health-benefit packages, the limits of screening without treatment pathways, the UK’s own pressure points, and what equitable cancer control looks like in rural, fragile, and conflict settings. We also talk financing—domestic resource mobilisation, the role of multilateral development banks, and why political commitment matters more than headlines.
