Abstract:

Abstract The number of people living with and beyond cancer continues to increase worldwide, bringing significant attention to their rehabilitation needs. Globally, psychosocial services are largely inadequate, with many cancer survivors experiencing unmet psychosocial needs. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes rehabilitation as an essential component of universal health coverage to prevent disease-related conditions, while also improving physical and mental functioning and overall well-being. The Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation (PIR) was developed by the WHO to address the global need for rehabilitation across 20 conditions with high prevalence and high levels of associated disability, including cancer. Many aspects of the WHO PIR align with the mission and focus of the International Psycho-Oncology Society (IPOS). This commentary describes the WHO PIR for Cancer and proposes opportunities to advance cancer rehabilitation research, policy, and practice as they align with recent and ongoing initiatives of IPOS.
