Programme

Every day, carers around the world give their time and energy to look after loved ones with cancer. Merck believe that understanding the challenges these individuals face is important so that action can be taken to increase recognition of the important role they play.

As a proud sponsor of the World Cancer Congress 2018, Merck will be facilitating a discussion around the unmet needs of oncology carers and the unique impact of caregiving on women.

With a panel of experts, moderated by Soraya Aruajo, Merck Brazil, Government Affairs and Policy & Social Responsibility, Merck will take a deep-dive into existing country specific resources and best practices around supporting carers. Merck will also unveil new data from their Embracing Carers global survey, which looks at the unmet needs of caregivers around the world.
