Welcome to the FAAPAC website!

The Algerian Federation of Cancer Patients Associations (FAAPAC) welcomes you to its new website, a new communication tool for everyone affected by cancer. And we are all affected!

The patient, their family, the medical profession, the health authorities, the various economic sectors directly or indirectly linked to the fight against cancer, the pharmaceutical sector in all its forms, and of course the associations and partners who form the virtuous human chain around the patient, including the volunteers who commit themselves through all our associations, and the donors.

Without this active and beneficial chain, cancer patients can only feel alone and lost.

This is what we refuse. This is what we have always refused.

At FAAPAC, we are committed to never leaving a cancer patient by the wayside. We have set ourselves the goal of supporting them throughout the national territory and defending their right to treatment and therapy that ensures their recovery, defending their right to the best possible quality of life while safeguarding their human dignity.

But beyond the patients affected, we are also, upstream, committed to: - Advocating for the continuous improvement of public and private services for cancer patients, - Actively participating in the prevention of the most common cancers for which prevention and early diagnosis methods exist, - Participating in the implementation of the various multi-year plans and strategies of the Algerian government to fight cancer, which has become a scourge and a public health problem given the alarmingly rising figures, - Being a source of proposals thanks to the experience gained by the various associations that make up our federation over the past 30 years.

Our website is designed as a genuine relay and communication channel with all the actors involved and with the patients.

It is also our identity card for our partners inside and outside the country.

We are pleased to make it available to all of you to contact us. We have designed it to facilitate contact between us. We invite you to become regular users of it.
