What Are the Challenges of Globalization in Cancer Care?
Despite these benefits, globalization also presents challenges. Inequities in healthcare access can be exacerbated by the uneven distribution of advanced treatments and technologies. High costs often restrict access to the latest therapies in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, the brain drain phenomenon, where talented healthcare professionals migrate from poorer to richer countries, can weaken the healthcare systems in less developed regions, thereby affecting cancer care quality.
