About PACE Programme

Over the years, the ever-rising burden of Cancer has been linked to a widening disparity in access to effective and affordable targeted therapies. It was considering this that the Patient Access to Care Program (PACE) was launched in 2019; initially conceptualized as a Chemotherapy access program to increase access to cancer care services through discounted pricing arrangements with Pharmaceuticals.
Today, it has expanded to cover other facets of Cancer care.
PACE is a unique program established by the Medicaid Cancer Foundation (MCF-a non-profit, non-governmental organization) based on the need to have structured, affordable access to therapies and treatments that can ensure remission or palliate symptoms for individuals with advanced Cancer.
The program focused on breast cancer at Inception. However, it has been modified to cover other forms of cancer like cervical, prostate and colon cancer. Currently, the program offers access to virtually all aspects of cancer care, medical and psychosocial; from diagnosis to treatment and beyond at a subsidized rates.
