Objectives
To facilitate locally led initiatives that promote and advance the implementation of VBHC models in low- and middle-income countries, led by frontline implementers and developed in close collaboration with ministries of health, academic institutions, industry, civil society, and most importantly, patients.
Our programme aims to improve patient outcomes through the implementation of VBHC interventions in breast cancer surgical care. Our projects in Rwanda and Türkiye focus on addressing diagnostic and treatment delays for breast cancer and barriers to access for patients, aligned with WHO’s Global Breast Cancer Initiative Implementation Framework.
