Breast Health Global Initiative
Collaborators during a Global Summit working meeting focused on developing guidelines for supportive care and quality of life.
The BHGI global alliance will present the Sixth Global Summit on International Breast Health and Cancer Control as a platform for development and publication of the consensus driven, evidence-based framework Improving Breast Health Care through Resource-Stratified Phased Implementation in Seattle, Washington, USA.
Five successful biennial Global Summits produced innovative tools for developing nations in the form of clinical Guidelines for International Breast Health and Cancer Control to effectively detect, diagnose and treat breast cancer in LMCs.
All guidelines publications are available in the Library.
