Marine Durand: Overcoming Barriers to Breast Cancer Treatment in Sierra Leone

Marine Durand, Senior Program Manager – Partnerships, The Max Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn by The Max Foundation, adding:

“Breast cancer should not be a death sentence—yet in Sierra Leone, too many women face that reality.

Last month, I joined stakeholder meetings in Sierra Leone with our partners, ABC Global Alliance, Thinking Pink, to help pave the way for our breast cancer program.  Women are diagnosed at a young age, face extremely limited resources, and lack access to essential treatments like ovarian suppressants.

These barriers highlight the urgent need for collective action and stronger systems of care.

I hope you’ll join our webinar tomorrow on ‘Overcoming Barriers to Breast Cancer Treatment in Sierra Leone’ to be part of this important conversation.

Quoting The Max Foundation’s post:

“Women living with breast cancer in Sierra Leone face delays in diagnosis and treatment. But there is hope.

Join us for a webinar on “Overcoming Barriers to Breast Cancer Treatment in Sierra Leone” featuring voices from the frontlines—Cremelda Parkinson Pratt, Prof. Babatunde Duduyemi, Cathy Scheepers, Dr. Peter Vuylsteke, Edgar Thomas, CPA, and Dr. Fatima Cardoso, President of ABC Global Alliance—working to bring care and dignity to those who need it most.

Be part of the change.
