Breast Cancer Assessment in Peru

closed

The general objective of the proposed Technical Cooperation (TC) is to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity from breast cancer among women aged 45 to 65 in Peru. The specific objective of the TC is to support the Peruvian Ministry of Health [Ministerio de Salud (MINSA)] in preparing the national strategy for breast cancer prevention, early detection and treatment. The national strategy will identify: (i) the areas of improvement required to improve the early detection and cancer treatment approaches (including current scientific knowledge, efficient use of resources, and access to detection and care) currently in place in Peru; and (ii) the specific activities needed to integrate early breast cancer detection and treatment into the health services provided by the MINSA.
