Making women’s health a priority, not an option – City Cancer Challenge

City Cancer Challenge shared a post on LinkedIn:

“When it comes to breast cancer, women are often forced to choose between their own health and caring for their families. Many will put family first, every time. But women are the backbone of every family, and healthy women mean healthy families.

That’s why the World Health Organization launched the Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) in 2021, aiming to reduce breast cancer deaths by 2.5% each year—a target that could save 2.5 million lives over 20 years. Together, WHO and C/Can are advancing this vision, starting in selected cities and scaling up to ensure that all women have the tools to prioritise their health.

With the GBCI, we’re tackling health inequities that put women at risk, bringing lifesaving breast cancer care to regional and national levels through WHO’s partnerships with Ministries of Health worldwide.

Let’s make women’s health a priority, not an option. Because when women thrive, communities thrive.”
