As the CEO of Solaris and a public health specialist, I am driven by a dual commitment: to provide world-class cancer care and to address the broader public health realities that shape patient outcomes. At Solaris, our vision—“Where hope meets precision”—guides every decision we make, blending cutting-edge clinical excellence with compassionate, community-oriented care. Cancer is not just a disease of the body—it is a growing public health challenge with wide-reaching implications. The rising incidence of cancer, especially in developing countries, is straining both public health systems and individual households. One of the most pressing issues in this landscape is the high out-of-pocket expenditure that patients and families often face. From diagnostics to treatment and long-term follow-up, the cost burden can be overwhelming, and in many cases, financially catastrophic.
