AQCAMO, at the service of healthcare professionals and patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Association qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise des coordonnateurs d’acc\u00e8s aux m\u00e9dicaments en oncologie (AQCAMO)<\/strong> offers its members support, regular updates on relevant data and specialized training in access to medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the growing complexity of drug access and coverage, the role of reimbursement coordinators is more essential than ever, both for healthcare professionals and patients in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ease the financial burden of cancer sufferers and enable them to concentrate on their health, these professionals are stepping up their efforts to simplify access and reimbursement procedures. AQCAMO places knowledge sharing and collaboration between coordinators and patients at the heart of its mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
