Cancer care and access to cancer drugs in Asia-Pacific – Main report

IHE has just published a series of reports on cancer and cancer drugs in Asia-Pacific. This region covers half of the world’s population and also accounts for half of all cancer deaths worldwide. The challenges are many and differ between geographic locations.

14 countries and locations (called “markets” in the report) are compared. They are grouped into 7 high-income markets (Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan) and 7 middle-income markets (China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam).

The report was funded by Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD). Responsibility for the analysis, interpretations, and conclusions, as well as errors or omissions lies solely with the authors.
