Cancer has been one of the leading causes of death in India in the past decade. The growing cancer burden has generated an unmet need to identify and address gaps in the healthcare system to enable access to affordable and quality cancer care for all in a manner that enhances the value of care. This paper provides an overview of the value-based care approach, identifies areas for enhancing the objectives of value-based care through multi-characteristic and multidimensional consideration of patient centricity and proposes health system strategies to improve comprehensive value-based care in India within the current context, focusing on implications for women's cancers. The core characteristics of patient centricity - heterogeneity and complexity - are detailed to complement and expand on previously defined aspects of value-based care. Comprehensive value-based cancer care can serve as a test case and proof of concept for the rest of the health system in India and focusing on women's cancers as a starting point can mandate attention to gender-responsive and transformative design and implementation.
