Norman Ng, Director of Patient Advocacy and Public Affairs at Healthcare Thinkers, shared on LinkedIn:
“Cross‑Sector Collaboration: Leveraging Kindness to Improve Access to Cancer Medicines
Opening Quote: Medical progress rests not only on scientific breakthroughs, but also cross‑sector kindness for patients.
Many cancer patients battle illness alongside financial barriers to innovative therapies.
As a Patient Advocacy Director, I recognise the valuable contributions of pharmaceutical companies and charitable organisations.
Regulated drug donations and patient support programmes complement R&D to bridge access gaps.
Charitable groups provide informational, practical and emotional support beyond public healthcare services.
Quality cancer care depends on cross‑sector partnership.
We hope more organisations will join us to advance drug access, so every cancer patient can access appropriate, dignified treatment.”
