Sawsan AlMadhi, CEO & Founder of Alignn Eficient Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Published: New Insights on Health Equity in Oncology
I’m proud to share that our collaborative paper “Guiding principles for health equity in oncology: insights from patient organizations from the Middle East and Africa” has been officially published in Frontiers in Health Services.
This work reflects the collective voice of regional patient advocacy leaders and highlights the real-world challenges patients face—from geographic disparities to data gaps in access and care.
Our core message is clear: True health equity starts by listening to patients and acting on what we hear.
We offer actionable recommendations to:
- Elevate patient-centered care
- Strengthen cross-sector collaboration
- Enhance data capacity within advocacy organizations
- Bridge systemic gaps in cancer access across the MEA region
This paper was made possible with the support of AstraZeneca, whose commitment to equity and patient-centric approaches helped bring this important discussion forward.
As the founder of Alignn Eficient Health Consultancies| Meaningful change via collaboration & advocacy, I remain dedicated to advocating for meaningful patient engagement and scalable solutions rooted in real experience.
Let’s keep the dialogue going—health equity is a shared responsibility.”
