About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to accelerate health equity, one patient at a time. We envision a world where all people can access high-impact medicines, where geography is not destiny, and where everyone can strive for health with dignity and hope. We do this by delivering medication, technology, and services to patients facing cancer and other critical illnesses, focusing our energy on those no one else is helping.
About
A KEY FOCUS OF THE ORGANIZATION IS EXPANDING HUMANITARIAN ACCESS TO INNOVATIVE TREATMENTS FOR CANCER IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES. WE RECEIVE DONATIONS OF ONCOLOGY PRODUCTS FROM DRUG MANUFACTURERS AND CHANNEL THEM TO INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS VIA OUR NETWORK HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND CANCER TREATMENT CENTERS. THIS ACCESS TO MEDICINES IS ENABLED THROUGH OUR PATIENT-CENTERED TREATMENT ACCESS MODEL KNOWN AS MAX ACCESS SOLUTIONS. OUR PRIMARY CLIENT IS A PATIENT WHO IS TREATED BY ONE OF OUR PARTNER PHYSICIANS, DIAGNOSED WITH A SPECIFIC CANCER, AND PRESCRIBED A MEDICATION FOR WHICH THE ONLY AVAILABLE FORM OF ACCESS IS A HUMANITARIAN CHANNEL THROUGH MAX ACCESS SOLUTIONS. WE USE A SOPHISTICATED WEB-ENGINE PLATFORM DEVELOPED IN-HOUSE TO ALLOW US TO WORK IN REAL TIME WITH HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND CREATE INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAM LIFE CYCLES TO MEET EACH PATIENT'S NEEDS. WE FURTHER ACT AS HEALTHCARE NAVIGATORS FOR THESE PATIENTS, HELPING THEM WALK THROUGH THE ACCESS PROGRAM ENVIRONMENT. IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE TREATMENT, WITHIN OUR CAPABILITIES WE PROVIDE WRAPAROUND SUPPORT THAT INCLUDES ACCESS TO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, EMOTIONAL AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT, INFORMATION RESOURCES AND EDUCATION, AS WELL AS ADVOCATING ON THEIR BEHALF WHEN NEEDED. WE ALSO STRENGTHEN THE COMMUNITIES AROUND PATIENTS BY SUPPORTING PATIENT ORGANIZATIONS AND CREATING AWARENESS INITIATIVES IN LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES.
