Scaling A Mountain For Cancer Costs

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it’s not only the disease and the rigorous treatment that they have to deal with, but also the financial burden. They have to navigate medical bills, employment issues and income loss, and they often have to do it on their own. We speak to Prof Dr Adlinda bt Alip, Consultant Clinical Oncologist from Universiti Malaya Medical Centre, and Koh Swee Khim, a breast cancer survivor, about the financial burden that cancer patients face. Prof Adlinda and Swee Khim will be part of an expedition to Everest Base Camp to raise funds and awareness for UMMC’s Tabung Kanser Prihatin Dewasa - find out how to donate here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
