Inspire Action..... Take Action

The National Cancer Platform brings together all Maltese non-government organizations working in the field of cancer to collaborate together in order to ensure a holistic, co-ordinated and sustainable service for all cancer patients and their loved ones.Each organisation remains autonomous, keeps its identity and way of working, while providing comprehensive information and support to its members.Through the Platform, members of organisations that offer support to people effected by cancer and their families, become familiar with the work being carried out by other organisations offering similar, or complementary services. The Platform facilitates exchange of information to the benefit of the service users.
