Jean Claude Mutabazi, Board of Directors at Rwanda Cancer Relief, Country Manager at Bloom Public Health and Program Coordinator for Central and West Africa at The Max Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Cancer care should not depend on where you live. Full stop.
Three years ago, I joined The Max Foundation thinking my role would be mostly technical. I was wrong—in the best way. Access to cancer care is not just technical—it is deeply human.
As a pharmacist, a public health professional, and a human being committed to equity in cancer care, I’ve learned since then is that cancer care is built on people before programs: patients traveling hours for treatment, healthcare providers doing extraordinary work with limited resources to bridge systems and care.
As World Cancer Day approaches, I wrote this reflection on growth, partnership, and what it truly means to be ‘United by Unique.’ A reflection on working across eight countries, supporting patients, healthcare providers, and health systems—while staying grounded in one goal: equitable access to life-saving treatment.
I’m grateful for the growth, the lessons, and the people who make this work possible.”
