Strong, Capable Women Need to Care for Themselves Too!
“Every Story is Unique. Every Journey is Different.” is this year’s theme for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Thanks to science and early detection, breast cancer is often treatable.
“Established in 2021, the WHO Global Breast Cancer Initiative is working with countries to reduce breast cancer mortality by strengthening health systems.
The GBCI’s strategic approach: The 60–60–80 targets
We have the tools to prevent, diagnose, and treat breast cancer. The GBCI advises countries to implement evidence-based strategies across three pillars –
Pillar One: Health promotion and early detection Empower individuals and communities to recognize symptoms and seek care early.
Target: 60% of invasive breast cancers are diagnosed at stage I or II.
Pillar Two: Timely diagnosis – Ensure diagnostic services are accessible and efficient.
Target: Patients receiving a diagnosis within 60 days of initial presentation.
Comprehensive Treatment– Deliver equitable, uninterrupted comprehensive care for all patients.
Target: 80% of patients complete their recommended treatment.”
