Bringing together patient advocates, healthcare professionals and industry representatives to identify regional opportunities and challenges, with the aim of shaping impactful health policy
This first edition of the ESMO Patient Engagement Summit, taking place during ESMO Asia Congress 2024, will serve as a pivotal platform bringing together patient advocates, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders in the region, and reflects ESMO's steadfast commitment to the optimisation of patient care worldwide, the continuous improvement of cancer-specific information and education, the strengthening of patient autonomy, and the support of patient rights
Patient engagement strategies, evidence-based care practices & collaborative decision-making
