Centre for Public Health Law, NLUO Odisha in association with Public Health Foundation of India is organising a webinar on 'The Role of Public Health Law in Cancer Prevention' on Wednesday, 12th May 2021 at 5:00 pm
About the event:
National Law University Odisha, Cuttack takes pride in pioneering the development and teaching of ‘Public Health Law’ as a specialised course in India. While the Covid-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on just the subject there is a need for broader engagement with administrators, public health experts, academicians, lawyers, law students across the country to critically analyse the role of law in making health a realizable goal and ensuring distributive fairness in the allocation of critical health infrastructure. With a view to foster discussion amongst different stakeholders, we are organising this webinar to critically analyse the role of law in cancer prevention. Most of the cases of cancer tend to be diagnosed at a later stage as a result of which timely treatment cannot be offered and therefore there is a need to focus on cancer prevention strategies which can include mandatory pre screening along with appropriate behavioural choices.
