Access to Medicine
is a Human Right
Accelerating health equity
At The Max Foundation, we deliver medication, technology, and services to patients facing cancer and other critical illnesses, focusing our energy on those no one else is helping.
We believe that we can prevent unnecessary suffering and premature death – and because we can, we must.
Revolutionizing treatment access
Since 1997, The Max Foundation has served more than 100,000 people living with cancer worldwide. Together with our partners, we provide access to life-extending medication in over 80 countries – at no cost to patients, for as long as they need it.
Creating practical solutions
Our team is involved in every step of the process, from working with pharmaceutical companies to providing one-on-one support for patients, which allows us to identify and address possible barriers. One of these solutions is our in-house, real- time patient management system that allows us to track each person’s treatment lifecycle.
A holistic approach to treatment
The Max Foundation and its partners provide more than medicine. That includes transportation to treatment, education assistance, helping set up patient support groups, connecting people with resources in their area, and more.
Working together to strengthen health systems
Effective partnerships are the best way to ensure people receive a timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Our network includes hundreds of healthcare professionals and medical institutions.
Our Impact
A Ripple Effect
Helping just one person living with cancer can impact entire communities.
I believe without the treatment, without the medicines, I would not have been able to lead a normal life. I feel that I enjoy the health, I can develop myself, and I will always say that The Max Foundation sent angels to my path.
