BeiGene Calls for Greater Integration of Mental Health in Cancer Care After New Survey Reveals Gaps/Barriers for Patients and Survivors - Seite 2

The survey findings will be discussed today at “Cancer and Mental Health: The Science and Art of Whole Patient Health,” a BeiGene-hosted event featuring renowned experts. Topics of conversation will include the practice of mental healthcare in a cancer setting; and the impact of inequality and health equity on access, research opportunities, and clinical guidelines. Finally, the group will address policy changes needed to systemically integrate mental health and wellness into quality cancer care that serves the whole patient. BeiGene intends to utilize the survey’s comprehensive findings to advance these conversations with the advocacy community, healthcare providers and policymakers as part of the Company’s new program, Talk About It: Cancer and Mental Health.
