I am pleased to share that I have recently been appointed to the Punjab State Oncology Expert Committee by the Government of State of Punjab, Indiaπ₯.
What makes this journey unique is that all committee members are esteemed clinicians or bureaucrats, and I am the sole patient advocate, representative for patients’ voices and experiences. It’s a testament to the importance of including the human aspect in healthcare decisions. π£οΈπͺ
Our goal is clear: to establish, review, and adopt policies that will shape Standard Treatment Guidelines for common cancers, including Breast, Lung, Cervical, Oral & Lip, and Hepato-cellular Carcinoma. The aim is to create policies and treatment protocols towards comprehensive, high-quality oncology services and to expand access to quality Cancer care in the state of Punjab with more than 110 million population, and with the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes and quality of life of cancer patients.π
I’m deeply honored to be the bridge between patients and policy, and I look forward to contributing to better healthcare for all. π
