Collaboration is critical
The Max Foundation’s Humanitarian Partnership for Access to Critical Treatments (Humanitarian PACT) is a collaboration among professional, nonprofit, and commercial organizations that aims to eliminate healthcare disparities by accelerating access to innovative medicines.
Members have agreed to invest resources and/or their unique knowledge and capabilities to increase global access to treatment, care, and support for people living with cancer in low- and middle-income countries. These efforts for delivering humanitarian care are applied to several diseases, including breast cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
People receive this cancer treatment free of charge.
