About Us
An estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer over the next 25 years, and up to 10 million could die without a cure.
Although breast cancer is a global disease, reaction and approach to its diagnosis and treatment vary greatly by a country’s cultural norms and economic means. Given that no single approach to breast health will prove effective around the world, local communities must implement innovative programs customized to address local needs.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure Global Initiative for Breast Cancer Awareness brings together Komen for the Cure’s expertise and leadership, the Institute of International Education’s (IIE) experience in international education and training, and the knowledge and expertise of local partners across Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Together, these groups will take the fight against breast cancer to a new level.
