Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are grappling with a dual disease burden as non-communicable diseases, such as cancer, increase rapidly alongside persistent infectious diseases. Although numerous collaborations between LMICs and high-income countries focus on cutting-edge research and treatment, it is crucial to direct more attention toward cancers prevalent or unique to LMICs

The US and India are set to strengthen their cooperation in biomedical research, with a particular focus on cancer. This collaborative effort was marked by the first-ever US-India Cancer Moonshot Dialogue, held in New Delhi. The event was aimed at fostering joint solutions to improve global health and well-being, as highlighted in a press release from the US Embassy and Consulates in India.
