Strengthening the healthcare system
Novartis is committed to collaborative partnerships with key stakeholders that share our goal of strengthening the Philippine healthcare system.
Our partnerships leverage the collective strengths of the government, medical community, patient advocacy groups, private sector, academe, and civil society organizations.
Improving Health Literacy
With the Philippine Press Institute, ICanServe Foundation, Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines, and the Alliance and Partnerships for Patient Innovations & Solutions (APPIS), we organized the “Health Reporting on Breast Cancer in the Philippines” virtual workshop to deepen local journalists’ understanding about breast cancer.
Enhancing the Patient Journey
With the Philippine Cancer Society, ICanServe Foundation, Swiss Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, and the Swiss Embassy, we held the “Inspiring Conversations on Breast Cancer in the Philippines”, a 5-part roundtable series which aimed to help meet the Global Breast Cancer Initiative targets and motivate stakeholders to support the full implementation of the National Integrated Cancer Control Act (NICCA).
Leveraging Data and Digital
With the Rizal Medical Center (RMC) and Thinking Machines Data Science, Inc., we launched STAHR, a web-based electronic referral solution for hospitals that supports the implementation of Health Care Provider Networks (HCPNs).
