This session offered perspectives from Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa and other African countries on how breast cancer care is being addressed through various programs, policies, and partnerships within their specific contexts.
This session aims to contribute to global discussions on breast cancer care and inspire policymakers and funders to strengthen efforts in reducing breast cancer mortality while considering the unique healthcare challenges and capabilities of each country.
Egypt had the honor to introduce its national strategy against breast cancer and how the Presidential Initiative of Woman’s Health (PIWH) succeeded to make a difference exceeding the global KPIs in alignment with the GBCI and Egyptvision 2030, Meanwhile, the Political will, community engagement and continuous economic evaluation are the key factors to that achievements in cost-effective modules which could be implemented in most of the African countries with shared characters including large population with culture resistant, Limited budget and decreased accessibility.
