H&L Webinar 2021 #6: Cancer Support Isn’t Just About Treatment

When it comes to talking about cancer treatment, do you feel that the psychosocial and financial needs of cancer patients are neglected? On this webinar, we have a candid discussion about the financial difficulties faced by cancer patients, and what options they have in the current landscape. We also discuss how to get psychosocial support and palliative care at the community level, especially as delayed treatment and diagnosis presents additional challenges during this pandemic. 

 

This is an edited recording of the 6th BFM Health & Living 2021 webinar* – this webinar series is presented by AIA, enabling Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
