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.

Quote
“Working alongside the dedicated GSF-UNITAR team is a collaborative journey driven by our shared commitment to improving healthcare outcomes. We are confident that the insights from our project into why women often miss out on vital mammography screenings, even when they are available and free of charge, will lead to systematic changes that will encourage more women to get life-saving mammography screenings and reduce the burden of breast cancer in Türkiye.”
