In concert with the IGCS Global Health Equity position, the Network is established with “the clear understanding that prompting, promoting, and inspiring maximum achievable health outcomes for every girl and woman (and thus every community)—wherever and under whatever circumstance she might live—are fundamental to the social justice and human rights imperative of global health equity.”
IGCS and Globe-athon to End Women's Cancers have merged to form the International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network (IGCAN).
