At a recent media roundtable focused on bridging innovation and affordability in cancer care, health experts emphasized that despite significant advancements in cancer treatments, many patients in India face challenges accessing these therapies.
Factors such as expensive treatment options, insufficient insurance coverage, limited diagnostic facilities, and disparities in healthcare infrastructure contribute to restricted access across the country.
The experts recommended developing a national strategy to address these issues and improve accessibility to innovative cancer therapies, so that every eligible patient gets a fair opportunity to avail them.
