Taskforces

These have emerged from the meetings first held in June 2019 at Max Hospital, New Delhi and subsequent discussions at PHOCON and PHOSSCON Varanasi in 2019 and the most recently held ICCI Workshop in Mar 2023. Areas of focus were identified and a taskforce was suggested for each of these areas. Taskforces are essentially a group of individuals who come together who have an interest and expertise in that specific area to accomplish a specific objective. As of March 2023, the following taskforces exist.

  1. Workforce and Training
  2. Access to Care
  3. Drugs, Diagnostics and Therapies
  4. Research and Clinical Trials
  5. Data and Registry
  6. Supportive Care
  7. Information and Awareness
  8. Financing and Policy
  9. Psychosocial Support
  10. Continuity of Care

We have two taskforce chairs for each taskforce, we have tried to maintain a balance by electing/ choosing one chair as a medical professional and the other a non-medical professional, who can either be a parent, survivor or from any civil society.

If you want to be a part of any taskforce, please contact the taskforce chairs
