Humanitarian PACT

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 are applied to several diseases, most recently advanced breast cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

People living with cancer receive this treatment free of charge.
