While an estimated 60% of cancer cases occur in low- and middle-income countries, only 5% of global spending on cancer is directed to these countries.*
Access to treatment is a human right.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, even though many cancer deaths are preventable with today's treatment options. Unfortunately, for many patients in under-resourced countries, treatment is out of reach. The Max Foundation needs your help to address this critical issue.
The Max Foundation bridges access to today's most innovative and effective cancer therapies so that no matter where someone lives, they can face cancer with dignity and hope. We provide humanitarian access to over 30,000 patients in over 70 countries. But we can't do it alone.
Humanitarian access to cancer treatment is our number one priority. Will you pledge today to provide equal access to care? Sign today!
