Breast Cancer is a 'wicked' problem.

 

Wicked problems are challenges with many interdependent factors making them seem impossible to solve.  Solving wicked problems requires a deep understanding of the stakeholders involved, and an innovative approach. 

​

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target a one-third reduction in non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality between the years 2015 and 2030. Cancer accounts for 22% of NCD deaths, and breast cancer is the leading global cause of female cancer mortality, despite its high survivability. 

​

Given the social and economic burden of cancer,  reducing the global cancer and NCD burden is a prerequisite for addressing social and economic inequity, stimulating economic growth and accelerating sustainable development.
