ALICC
About us
ALICC is an organization that consists of non-profit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from Latin America and Spain.
ALICC was founded by Olga Santamaría Fernández, President of the Liga Colombiana Contra el Cáncer, who presented the proposal during the Congress of the UICC held in the German city of Hamburg in 1990.
During the First Latin American Congress of Leagues Against Cancer, which took place in Colombia in March 1993, the Asociación de Ligas Iberoamericanas Contra el Cáncer (ALICC) was established. At the Annual Meeting in 2016 in Buenos Aires, ALICC changed its name to Asociación Latina e Ibérica Contra el Cáncer, retaining the acronym for proper communication.
Since the consolidation of this network of organizations, ALICC works to unify the programs of 19 countries that recognize the need to form a common front, whose mission is to address the problems of cancer in Spanish-speaking countries, communicating them to other regions, taking into account the reality of a region that is constantly changing.
