HTI's strategy, which is in line with current shifts in world thinking, involves partnering with quality local providers in areas where cancer care is needed most. With the world crisis in cancer occurring much more rapidly than most policy makers had anticipated, the World Health Organization recently adopted a change in cancer control strategy by campaigning to attract the private sector into helping tackle cancer -- encouraging health insurance companies and drug and food industries to set up new infrastructures and new health markets. HTI's model targets partnership opportunities and encourages strategic alliances between the public and private sectors where appropriate.

The 3 primary phases HTI and its partnering entity typically undergo during the realization of a comprehensive cancer program are:

Phase 1:Feasibility and business planning

Phase 2: Project design and financing

Phase 3: Project Construstion, Operational start-up and on-going management
