How Can Policymakers Improve Access to Cancer Treatment?
Improving access to cancer treatment involves several strategies, including:
1. Insurance Coverage: Ensuring that health insurance plans cover comprehensive cancer care, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical procedures. 2. Affordability: Implementing policies that make cancer treatments more affordable, such as regulating the cost of prescription drugs and providing subsidies for low-income patients. 3. Geographical Accessibility: Developing healthcare infrastructure in underserved areas to reduce disparities in access to cancer care services.
