The GSF’s Women’s Health team shared updates from projects aimed at improving access to surgical care for breast cancer patients in Rwanda and Türkiye.

The Global Surgery Foundation and Leapfrog to Value have entered into a strategic partnership to enhance access to care and strengthen health systems, focusing on Breast Cancer and Maternal Health.

The Global Surgery Foundation and Voice of the Patient have announced a strategic partnership through a memorandum of understanding. This collaboration focuses on enhancing access to care and prioritizing patient voices.

The value-based healthcare (VBHC) programme in Türkiye shared their preliminary results with the scientific community, generating evidence to support the VBHC approach.

The Global Surgery Foundation, in collaboration with UNITAR and partners in Türkiye, conducted a visit to assess the progress of their Value-based Healthcare (VBHC) Programme focused on optimising breast cancer care.

No woman should die for lack of surgical care.

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.  Value-based healthcare (VBHC) approaches can help make quality surgical care available to more breast cancer patients.

Financial toxicity (FT) is the negative impact of cost of care on financial well-being. Patients with breast cancer are at risk for incurring high out-of-pocket costs given the long-term need for multidisciplinary care and expensive treatments.

Where you live should not determine whether you receive treatment for breast cancer.
