How Data is Fighting Tobacco-Related Cancer in Africa | Tobacco Control Conversations

Описание: Does tobacco increase cancer risk? The evidence is definitive, but the solutions require localized data.
For World Cancer Day 2026, we explore the "United by Unique" theme by looking at how the Tobacco Control Data Initiative (TCDI) is providing specialized data for seven countries to combat the tobacco epidemic. Our guest, Tochukwu Okereke (Programme Manager, TCDI), explains how these platforms empower governments to make evidence-based decisions that save lives.
In this episode:
The link between tobacco use and the global cancer burden.
How TCDI country-specific websites fill critical data gaps.
