The Problem: In the modern world, cancer is no longer a death sentence. Up to 80% of patients can recover and lead healthy lives thanks to advances in medicine. Yet in Russia and the former Soviet Union countries, many patients lack access to effective treatments.
|
Our Mission: We help cancer patients get access to the most effective treatments available. We want to make sure that our patients’ lives depend not on their income or birthplace, but on the progress of modern medicine.
