“This week with the International Cancer Patient Coalition I will share Fundación Aladina ‘s vision on how to transform innovation into real access for patients, especially in pediatric oncology.
It will be an honour to bring the voice of civil society to such an urgent and necessary debate. Later this week, I’ll be speaking at the “Next-Gen Diagnostics in Lung Health” congress in Kuala Lumpur, sharing Fundación Aladina’s perspective on how to turn innovation into real access for patients—especially in childhood cancer. Proud to bring the voice of civil society to this timely and important discussion.”
