At a recent roundtable discussion on ‘Navigating Access to Improve Breast Cancer Care in Southeast Asia’, co-organised by the Alliance & Partnerships for Patient Innovation & Solutions (APPIS), and National Cancer Society of Malaysia, supported by Novartis, patient organisations from seven countries around the region came together to share their best practices and challenges in alternative funding, when it comes to accessing breast cancer care.
