Advocacy: Ombudsmen advocate for the needs and rights of cancer patients, ensuring they receive appropriate medical care and support services. Complaint Resolution: They help resolve issues related to care quality, treatment delays, and inadequate pain management. Education: Ombudsmen provide information about available resources and rights, empowering patients and their families to make informed decisions.
