Ethiopia
Situation in Place
A recent report, prepared by Dr. Biniyam Tefera indicates that after less than a year after the DearMamma Campaign’s beginning in Ethiopia, the drop-out rate among women who were diagnosed with breast cancer was significantly reduced. This promising trend is ascribed to the improved sensitization of the hospital’s medical personnel regarding breast cancer and to the dedication of a special nurse, employed with TDF-funding to be Dr. Tefera’s assistant, who follows each woman during all stages of assessment and treatment at the hospital.
Project Testimonial
Most breast cancer cases could be cured if detected early enough. And a free and easy way to become aware of possible problems is to do a self-test every month.
