Every day in Belgium, 75 people of working age are diagnosed with cancer, according to the Cancer Registry. Every employer risks being confronted with it one day or another. “At present, cancer is no longer an end-of-career pathology,” emphasizes Christophe De Letter. “We find ourselves more and more often faced with people who still have 15 to 20 years of career ahead of them. "It is not possible to leave all these people behind. Employers must contribute to their reintegration." According to Magali Mertens, this requires the implementation of structural and ambitious “disability management” and well-being at work policies.

In the new issue of the MC - Mutualité Chrétienne magazine En Marche, discover the file "Preparing for a return to work after cancer".
