Our mission

We’re the patient’s voice in cancer

Worldwide millions of people are diagnosed with cancer each year. The majority of the people who die, come from  low- and middle-income countries. In discussions and decision making, these patients do not have a voice. Inspire2Live brings their voice to the table because:

If about us, not without us

When discussions take place about cancer patients it is necessary and decent that these discussions take place with the patients at the table. For this reason, Inspire2Live works with patient advocates who are able to discuss matters at the same level as those representing the stakeholders in the medical industrial complex: researchers, clinicians, industry, government and payers. Patient advocates from Inspire2Live come from these fields of expertise. We believe that the way to do this is to create a coalition of the willing (people who share the same ideas and need for action), consisting of all the stakeholders and to formulate a project or plan of execution.

The global battle against cancer can and must go faster, smarter and above all in the interest of the person with cancer

We do this by focusing on the patient’s priorities and worldwide with respect for the financial situations and possibilities. We work for 7.8 billion people and not for the 1.6 billion in the rich countries.

The focus of Inspire2live is on the entire journey of the global patient:
