Campaigning for Cancer Advocacy

Overview

Change doesn't just happen by itself. It is driven by people and organisations who are committed to making a difference and who help to persuade others.  

Campaigning for Cancer targets all South Africans regardless of age, sex, gender insurance or health status, marital status, disability, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, conscience, belief, education, social or economic background.  

Special attention is given to those diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers.  

Campaigning for Cancer also sees community-based organisations and NGO’s as primary partners who will aid these individuals in the knowledge of their own needs and environment.  

Campaigning for Cancer has in addition, identified the following as fundamental stakeholders: professional associations; private funders; employers; health practitioners and healthcare facilities; and pharmaceutical companies.  

We want to communicate with these policy making entities that affect legislation and healthcare delivering for cancer to ensure that the patient is consulted and their views considered in all decision making processes that affect the healthcare consumer.
