Kenya has over 75% of non-alcoholic drinks and up to 89% of pesticides potentially counterfeit, according to studies.
This is raising health risks and exposing gaps in enforcement

@IARCWHO @GICR_IARC & HISP_UiO developed the @dhis_2 Toolkit for #CancerRegistration
Aligned w/ @canreg for countries to manage, analyze #CancerData w/in their national #HealthInfo systems
2 Webinars launching the Toolkit (links to REGISTER in comments)
ALT Population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) collect data on all new cancer cases to produce key indicators about cancer burden. High-quality PBCR data is essential to guide decision-making in cancer control, helping countries know where to invest and monitor the impact of their cancer programs. In the past years, several countries have explored sourcing PBCR data directly from DHIS2, independently reproducing complex DHIS2 data validations based on CanReg5 software (a global public good for PBCR systems offered by the International Agency for Research on Cancer). In the DHIS2 Cancer Registry Toolkit Launch Webinar (Part 1), we will first introduce the use case for cancer registry data in DHIS2, and then present a generic DHIS2 Tracker program for cancer registries aligned with the CanReg5 data model. The overall goal is to offer a scalable, modular, and standardized DHIS2 Tracker program that health authorities can adapt and deploy for sub-national cancer registration, to complement or
