The approval of new treatments for All Melanoma Patients living in Ireland
Why this petition matters
May is Melanoma Awareness Month but for Patients Melanoma isn't just for May we are fighting for the right to live all year round
Four new treatments have been refused in the last year for Irish Patients Nivo Mono, Ipi/Nivo combined, Trametinib Cobimetinib. Enough is Enough Irish Patients deserve better. These treatments have been refused because of the Price charged for them
- We want access to these treatments
- We want faster negotiations on price.
- We want the same chance to life as anyone else
We deserve the same chance to live as Patients all over Europe who already have access to these treatments. Survival should not be based on a lottery of where you were born or how much you can pay.
Melanoma is robbing patients of decades off their lives and destroying families futures it is the 3rd most common cancer in Ireland but one of least spoken about May is Melanoma Awareness month let's make it one to remember for all the right reasons Pls sign and share
