The Patient Support & Financial Assistance Program provides a structured system of care that supports patients medically, emotionally, and financially through their cancer journey — from diagnosis to treatment and survivorship.
One of the biggest barriers to cancer care is not just access — it is affordability. Many patients abandon treatment midway or never begin at all due to cost. This programme is designed to remove that barrier while ensuring patients are properly guided through the healthcare system.
Core Services
- Patient navigation and referral coordination
- Guidance on diagnosis, treatment options, and care pathways
- Psychosocial and emotional support
- Financial assistance for eligible patients (diagnostics, surgery support, partial treatment funding)
- Fundraising support for high-need cases
- Follow-up and continuity of care tracking
Operational Approach
Each patient is enrolled into a coordinated care pathway, linking screening through to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
Financial support is provided through direct patient assistance based on need assessment, donor-funded treatment support, partnerships with hospitals offering subsidised care, and case-based fundraising campaigns for critical patients.
Patients are tracked throughout their journey to ensure they do not drop off due to financial constraints, receive timely intervention, and that resources are allocated efficiently and transparently.
Key Outcomes
- Increased treatment initiation and completion rates
- Reduced patient drop-off due to financial barriers
- Improved survival outcomes
- Stronger trust and credibility with patients and communities
