I was inspired by the discussion at the recent Global Cancer Fund Roundtable to address cancer inequalities that we see worldwide.
Just as we strive to provide the highest quality care to every patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering, this fund represents a collective effort to ensure that people around the world have access to life-saving cancer treatments, regardless of their circumstances.
I am honored to be a part of this global movement and believe that through collaboration and innovation, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of countless people affected by cancer. #GlobalCancerMoonshot
