Africa 2030: Scaling Access to Breakthrough Cancer Care
Join The Max Foundation At AORTIC:
For over 25 years, The Max Foundation has been transforming access to cancer care—connecting patients to life-saving medicines, diagnostics, and support services at no cost. Across Africa, these efforts have not only saved lives but also strengthened health systems through enhanced diagnostic capacity, physician education, referral networks, and supply chain resilience.
At the 2025 Clinton Global Initiative, The Max Foundation announced an ambitious new goal:
To reach 100,000 patients each year by 2030.
Join us for an interactive session as we share this vision, reflect on our progress, and explore innovative pathways to expand equitable cancer care. Together, we’ll co-create partnerships that accelerate progress toward this bold commitment and ensure that no patient is left behind.

About The Max Foundation
The Max Foundation is a leading global health nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating health equity. Since 1997, we have pioneered practical, scalable, and high-quality solutions to bring life-extending treatments and patient-centered healthcare to more than 100,000 people living with cancer and other critical illnesses in low- and middle-income countries.
Our mission is to accelerate health equity by delivering medication, technology, and services to patients facing cancer and critical illnesses, focusing on those no one else is helping. We envision a world where all people can access high-impact medicines, where geography is not destiny, and where everyone can strive for health with dignity and hope.
We believe that all people facing illness deserve access to immediate and effective treatment, regardless of where they live. Together with our distribution partners and a trusted network of healthcare professionals, we have built an efficient and validated supply chain that safely delivers life-saving medicine to patients worldwide.
At The Max Foundation, we are not only strengthening health systems but also shifting perceptions. It must no longer be acceptable to leave patients behind. Our work is about creating real, positive change; one patient, one community, and one system at a time.
