LAF, ACS and HGPI Launch Patient Empowerment Project in Japan
date : 9/8/2012
On 28th August, the Lance Armstrong
Foundation, with partner American Cancer Society (ACS) and lead agency Health
and Global Policy Institute (HGPI), announced the launch of the Patient
Empowerment Project in Japan. The announcement was made at the World Cancer
Congress in Montreal during the session, “Innovative Strategies to Empower
Survivors in the Global Fight Against Cancer.”
The Patient Empowerment Project was
designed to amplify the cancer patient voice by allowing people to share their
stories through testimony in a Forum in front of policy makers, media, and the
public, elevating and bringing a face to the country’s problems in cancer care.
Our project and event announcement will be updated on our website.
