“Access to treatment means everything to me, it brings hope, happiness, dreams, and a new life to fulfill the need of my family and my community.”

Access to Diagnostics

Before we can provide medicine to patients, we must know what it is we are treating. We support patients with diagnostic services in under-resourced settings. Early detection and ongoing monitoring allow patients to change medication when needed and stay ahead of the cancer’s spread.

In 2020
  • 13 Countries supported with access to diagnostics through our Solidarity Fund
  • 3,130 PCR tests given to patients

Access to Care & Support

Through our patient-centered approach, we counsel individuals through our patient services, providing emotional support, disease education, and connections to patient communities. Our regional team members help patients navigate myriad cultural implications—the largest factor being cancer and disease stigmatization.

In 2020
  • 120k connections with patient communities worldwide, through emotional support, phone calls, group meetings, disease education, and advocacy.

“In our culture, social stigma with cancer is deeply rooted. My job is not to decide for our patients, but to try my best to educate them on their disease so they can believe that their treatment is important”
