Max Goes to the World Cancer Congress
The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) has been hosting the World Cancer Congress each year since 1933. This year it was held in Malaysia – the first time in South East Asia.
Max Tracks: Africa – Tanzania
Get a never before seen look at the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) program in Tanzania! Over 20 years ago, we partnered with local healthcare professionals to provide treatment access for people living with cancer – at no cost to them, for as long as they need
it.
Africa Region Head Cathy Scheepers takes you to clinics in Moshi and Dar es Salaam, talking with patients, advocates, and physicians about their progress and how we can reach more people living with CML.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes videos! Cathy and the Max team will be visiting several countries this year, including Lesotho, Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia.
