Objectives
The aim of this initiative is to develop and deliver capacity building and educational programs for appropriate diagnosis and management of cancer.
Consultorio Rosado, known as Pink Consulting Rooms, is an initiative developed by Roche and adopted by Colombian Mastology Association (ACM) that aims to increase the early detection of breast cancer, through timely diagnosis and treatment. The initiative has been adopted in the main cities and extended to other regions with difficulties accessing services.
Results and milestones
Almost 5,000 healthcare professionals have attended plenary lectures on our patient journey programmes, while another 900 attended 26 workshops on clinical breast exams. A further 700 healthcare professionals have undertaken e-learning on signs, symptoms and the patient journey. More than 65,000 patients received a clinical breast exam, nearly 188,000 underwent mammography and 2,257 patients were diagnosed with breast cancer. 131 “Consultorios para la mujer” have been established and 76 comprehensive care models with 68 Routes for Care have been developed.
