International Conference on Multidisciplinary Approaches in Health Sciences
Menu
Cancer is increasingly recognized as a major global health threat, with growing incidence and mortality affecting countries across all income levels. In Indonesia, cancer ranks among the top non-communicable diseases, placing a significant burden on individuals, families, and the national healthcare system. According to the Ministry of Health of Indonesia, the prevalence of cancer continues to rise, particularly in regions with limited access to early detection and quality treatment. In Bali, as a rapidly developing province and international health tourism destination, the need for integrated, culturally appropriate, and sustainable cancer care models is particularly urgent.
In response to this challenge, the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health Denpasar (Poltekkes Kemenkes Denpasar) is proud to host an international conference entitled: “Cancer as Global Health Challenge: Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration towards Comprehensive and Sustainable Management.” This conference is designed as a fully online event, enabling broader participation from across Indonesia and internationally, especially from remote and underserved regions. The online format aims to enhance accessibility, reduce geographical barriers, and promote inclusive knowledge sharing.
The conference seeks to bring together health professionals, academics, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders to engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration. It will focus on holistic approaches to cancer care that incorporate medical, psychosocial, technological, and policy-based innovations.
Held in the spirit of academic and cultural Bali, this virtual event offers a meaningful platform for exchanging best practices, advancing research, and fostering partnerships that contribute to effective and sustainable cancer control—both in Indonesia and globally. Through keynote sessions, scientific presentations, and interactive forums, the conference will empower participants to contribute to a collective effort to address cancer as a shared global health responsibility.
