“By the year 2050, the region’s economic losses associated with breast cancer may reach USD 408 billion unless immediate strategic interventions are implemented. Investing in breast cancer early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment is estimated to yield a return on investment ranging between USD 6.4 to 7.8 for every USD invested.

On the 23rd of January 2025, the Egyptian Presidential Initiative on Women’s Health High level Dialogue ‘Advancing Equity and Innovation in Breast Cancer Care’ was held alongside the 17th Breast Gynecological and Immunooncology International Cancer Conference-BGICC in Cairo, Egypt in The presence of His Excellency Pr.
