International aid for cancer comes from a variety of sources, including:
- Governments: Countries such as the United States, Canada, and members of the European Union allocate funds for global health initiatives, including cancer control. - Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO), American Cancer Society, and Cancer Research UK play critical roles in funding research, raising awareness, and providing direct support to affected regions. - Private Sector and Philanthropy: Companies and individuals contribute through donations and corporate social responsibility programs. For example, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has made significant contributions to global health, including cancer research and treatment.
