The facility will serve as a conduit for patients and their families in South-East Asia seeking specialised care in Los Angeles, particularly in cardiology, neurology, oncology and other key specialities.

In addition, it will support ongoing cooperation and knowledge exchange between US clinicians and medical researchers, as well as their counterparts in Southeast Asia.

Cedars-Sinai Cancer deputy director Robert Figlin said: “By first meeting international patients in their home community, we can establish a comprehensive, patient-centric continuum of care with the goal of improving treatment outcomes for even the most complex cases.

“We work together with patients’ local physicians to provide each patient with a personalised treatment plan.”
