Andrew Spiegel, Chief Executive Officer of Global Colon Cancer Association, shared on LinkedIn:
“Heading to Nairobi, Kenya, for an important week of international patient advocacy.
I’ll be opening two global conferences:
- the Global Colon Cancer Association Congress on November 5-6
- the World Patients Alliance Congress on November 7-8.
At GCCA, we’ll focus on improving
- colorectal cancer prevention
- early detection
- access to treatment
- the role of innovation in improving patient outcomes
At WPA, we’ll bring together leaders from a global alliance representing more than 850 patient organizations across 145 countries to address the challenges patients face across diseases and healthcare systems.
Different conversations, but the same fundamental principle:
where you live should not determine the quality of healthcare you receive.
Looking forward to four days of discussion, collaboration and, most importantly, action.”
