What is Health Advocacy?
Advocacy supports and promotes patients’ health care rights, and enhances community health and policy initiatives that focus on the availability, safety and quality of care. The Cancer Alliance has adopted a human-rights based approach to cancer care that acknowledges that access to services is a matter of social justice, and gives voice to the voiceless.
