#HelpCancerVillagers elevator pitch

Cancer villagers are residents of (rural) villages in low-resource settings. 
No adequate or affordable cancer therapy is available due to the socio-economic status of the patient and its lack of accessibility to cancer specialists and infrastructure. In this regard, cancer in low-resource settings is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, if at all. Ending the desperation is our vision. 
The aim of #HelpCancerVillagers is to diagnose cancer early and to provide best value therapy to cancer victims (the unmet need). The respective efforts are cross-financed through stakeholder interactions, and they are free of charge for the patient. Learning and changing habits towards patient centric and efficient healthcare is our mission.
To start the initiative, two pilot projects in two different low-resource regions shall be implemented. Both will focus on children and their families. #HCV is a Swiss based data and AI platform to empower cancer care, and it is a decentralised alliance with local partners and stakeholders.
