STUDY TO CLOSE CANCER KNOWLEDGE GAP

The Ministry of Health (MoH) has launched Thibang Diphatlha, a study that will help improve health services to ensure that cancer patients learn about their condition. Delays between diagnosis and treatment had always increased risks for the cancer to spread to other parts of the body, resulting in death if not treated on time and so Thibang Diphatlha is expected to help close that gap. The study will test multiple ways to alert and link cancer diagnosed patients to care in a short time using a special class of Randomised Control Trial design, the highest standard of research method.
