Patient Group Mentoring programme in the Asia Pacific region
Launched in 2018 as a pilot initiative to respond to a voiced need in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the programme aims to ensure that patient groups have the knowledge, capacity and connections to make a difference in their own health systems and beyond.
Since the beginning, patient groups have benefitted from a number of UICC opportunities, with tailored assistance to maximise their participation and impact of these activities (personalised agenda, accompaniment during the events, coaching for writing applications). The facilitation of connections and exposure to patient groups through their participation in external events has also been provided.
The programme currently supports 14 organisations from the Asia Pacific region
- Cancer Community Oncology Center – Bangladesh
