“When we discuss the lack of access to cancer treatment in LMICs as a high level concept, we fail to see the people behind the numbers. Silvia is a great example of the impact of access to treatment beyond the patient. For the past 20 years she has been a strong advocate in Guatemala and the entire Latin America region on behalf of fellow patients. Today we can extend this life-changing support to others. Please contribute today.”
