We are long-time friends and have supported each other through thick and thin! Qassandra is our shared baby :)
Our combined medical journey spans across open heart surgery, cancer, fertility treatment, chronic pain, pregnancy, rare diseases and mental health. All this across different countries and health systems. Together, we have learnt that what you say and ask in each consult can change entirely the type of care you will receive.
In particular interms of:
How easy and comfortable exams, procedures and treatments can feel
And how adequate to your personal circumstances doctors' recommendations would be
We have learnt the hard way.
QASSANDRA is here to spare you the painful and sinuous learning curve.
We want to improve health outcome for patients.
We are patients ourselves and we believe effective communication between medical practitioners and patients yield better health outcomes.
Our entire philosophy is based on patient-to-patient empowerment. Harnessing the wisdom of the community and finding innovative ways to help everyone build the skills and confidence they need to advocate for themselves and be an active partner in the patient - doctor relationship.
