      Improving Cancer Care in South East Asia: The ACTION case Study

      The ACTION (Asean CosTs In Oncology) study aimed to generate unprecedented data to help policymakers protect their people and economies from cancer’s catastrophic impact. Since 2015, ACTION has provided policymakers with the evidence needed to remove financial barriers to lifesaving diagnoses and treatments, giving cancer patients in Southeast Asia a voice, improving their lives and those of their families for generations to come.
