Patient navigation programs are networks of professional navigators placed in oncology centers and collaborating with each other across and beyond their own institution, community or city to support cancer patients to find resources that remove blockers slowing down treatment access. 

Roche Africa has established a team working with selected Partners on three pillars:

• Program Factory – create programs. Support in analyzing hospital workflows and architect appropriate navigation programs tackling the identified fragmentations.
• Navigation Academy – create workforce. Support with forming and training workforce on the basics of oncology patient navigation. 
• Impact Lab – create insights. Support with collecting data through RedPath and analyzing the impact of the programs, focused on early diagnosis and treatment, adherence increase, and patient satisfaction.
