Dr Vivek Muthu joins the Cancer Awareness Trust as a Key Opinion Leader

We are excited to welcome Dr Vivek Muthu to our Transforming Cancer Advisory Group.

Dr Vivek is an experienced health systems and life sciences consultant with a passion for harnessing the power of data to improve outcomes in cancer care.

Dr Vivek was a founder of Bazian – a company dedicated to improving health by servicing the needs of value-based health internationally, which was then acquired by The Economist Group. Since then he has continued to work with organisations involved in health policy and health service delivery and which are building data tools and biotechnologies to improve health and health systems across the world, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, The Health Value Alliance, All.Can and Marivek Consulting.

We are thrilled to be able to draw on Dr Vivek's expertise as we design how The Cancer Platform structures and use the data we collect on cancer care gaps and inequalities to improve every cancer journey.

"Helping patients and their families to navigate the complexities of cancer care is so important. Yet it's under-served in our health systems - that's something I have seen both professionally and personally. How do we ensure that the best care and support can be accessed by everyone? How can we ensure that people know what help is available and how to get it? How do we identify and fill the gaps in support, for all patients? I am really excited and feel privileged to be part of Transforming Cancer Advisory Board at the Cancer Awareness Trust, whose mission is to address these urgent needs, and to transform the experience, outcomes and lives of people with, and at risk of, cancer." Dr Vivek Muthu

“I am delighted to welcome Vivek to our Transforming Cancer Advisory Board. Vivek brings an energy and enthusiasm for our mission that has immediately helped us connect with experts in health systems and data, applying that to the inequalities we are tackling through our platform. His wealth of expertise, connections and experience means his input will help us get there quicker. We are truly grateful for everything he brings to the board and look forward to collaborating and delivering on our mission together." Founder, Prof. Sir Chris Evans
