Collaborations with
patient groups and patients
Moments That Count is a Novartis initiated project that has gathered insights from real patients living with breast cancer in order to develop useful materials that we believe can help with peoples’ understanding of the disease. For more information on our work with patient groups, click here.
We partner with patient advocacy groups (PAGs) and patients to reinforce overall support for patients and the healthcare system.
The following patient advocacy groups (PAGs) provide extensive support for people living with and caring for those with breast cancer, and are also involved in funding vital breast cancer research. Moments That Count has had no input from these groups. We have listed these so you have access to as much information as possible.
