Global health nonprofit that’s provided access to treatment to over 100,000 people living with cancer in low- and middle-income countries.
Now 12 years old, Chin-chin loves drawing, singing, and spending time with her family of five. She takes her medication diligently, and dreams of becoming a nurse one day so she can care for others the way she has been cared for.

What began as a loss of appetite soon led her family down a difficult path filled with financial challenges and emotional strain. Initially, the family received subsidized treatment, but when her physician switched her treatment in 2024, her medicines became available through our partnership.

On #InternationalChildhoodCancerDay we honor the courage of children like Chin-chin.

Diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia at five years old, Chin-chin’s childhood was shaped by hospital visits, blood tests, and long days of treatment.

🏋🏽What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I start each morning at the gym and dedicate time to volunteering with underprivileged children to support access to education.
January 14, 2026 at 10:21 AM
🗣️What languages do you speak?

Malay and English

🫓☕What is your favorite food?

I enjoy cooking my own meals, although on cheat days, nothing beats my mother’s homemade Nasi Lemak or a crispy Roti Canai with Teh Tarik.

👥How do patient support groups complement medical care?

Patient support initiatives help bridge the natural gap between healthcare providers and patients. People often open up more freely to peers who share similar experiences.
January 14, 2026 at 10:21 AM
🫶🏽Is there a patient experience that stayed with you?
I’ve seen patients who had every opportunity to improve yet were held back by social and cultural barriers. Without support systems, some patients struggled to continue, reminding me how essential community and understanding are beyond treatment.
January 14, 2026 at 10:21 AM
📆From your experience, what challenges do patients face in accessing care?

In a country with relatively equitable healthcare access, the challenge often lies in maintaining consistency in treatment. Compliance is not just about taking medication—it's also navigating daily life alongside treatment.
January 14, 2026 at 10:21 AM

🧠What does supporting patient communities mean to you?

Not long after my diagnosis with chronic myeloid leukemia, I was introduced by The Max Foundation to patients, caregivers, and a healthcare nurse. I recognized that empowering patients with knowledge is critical to achieve long-term outcomes.
