TOUCH Cancer Support

Print
  • Providing practical support and care for patients undergoing cancer treatment


TOUCH is the only local agency that administers the Patient Assistance Programme for Novartis Singapore, to provide the cancer drugs, Glivec and Tasigna, to patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours.

We conduct financial assessment for all eligible patients, make recommendations for subsidies and ensure that all requirements are met for patients to continue in this programme. We provide care and support to these patients and their families through support group meetings and outings, and conduct regular home visits to check on their progress.

"On behalf of my mum and my family, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to TOUCH Cancer Support for assisting us to get the subsidy for my mum's medical condition. This subsidy has really eased our financial burden. We are really grateful for your efficiency in helping us with the application process. Thank you very much!"
- Connie Woon, main caregiver of her mother with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
"It can be lonely to cope with an illness sometimes despite having a positive outlook in life. Feelings such as being a financial burden to my family can put me down at times. TOUCH Cancer Support's staff and volunteers have been a great source of support for me, and created many opportunities for patients & families to bond together via outings, gathering and talks."
- Eric Kang, patient with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
