The National Cancer Society Malaysia is proud to announce a meaningful collaboration with Biocon Sdn. Bhd., marking an important step forward in enhancing the accessibility and delivery of cancer care in Malaysia. Here’s what it could mean in practice:
1. Improved Access to Care
The introduction of shuttle services directly addresses one of the biggest barriers to treatment, transportation. Patients, especially those from underserved or remote communities, will have more reliable access to screenings, treatments, and support services.
2. Reduced Financial Burden on Patients
By easing transportation costs, this initiative can help alleviate the indirect financial strain often faced by cancer patients and their families, making it easier to stay consistent with treatment and follow-ups.
3. Stronger Patient Support Ecosystem
With enhanced accessibility, more individuals can benefit from NCSM’s holistic services, including counselling, rehabilitation, and community support, leading to better overall patient outcomes.
The ceremony was attended by representatives from Biocon Sdn. Bhd., Mr Joe Sian Chean Fei, Vice President and Site Head, and Ms Sugeetha Nair Kersenernayer, Associate Manager – Sustainability and CSR, alongside Kol. Bersekutu (PA) Prof. Dr Murallitharan Munisamy, Managing Director of NCSM.
