Piga Fernandez, the LRG’s global relations coordinator, participated in an activity called “I have cancer, …lets talk” organized by Red Chile Cancer, a coalition of cancer patient groups in Chile. The main objective was to let people know the reality of GIST patients in Chile and create awareness of the need that different types of cancer are covered by the health systems.
Joel Salazar, a Chilean GIST patient, is running marathons to raise awareness of the need for GIST to be codified and approved as a pathology by the health system in Chile.
