“When you train one specialist, they go on to treat hundreds, even thousands of women over their career. They also train others, establish services, and strengthen the health system around them. There is a ripple effect.”

“Fundraising is crucial to bring mentorship and training programs to specialists in low-resource settings. Without financial support, they wouldn't have access to the education and tools needed. The program builds sustainable expertise, and trained specialists become leaders, improving long-term cancer care in their communities.”
Dr. Linus Chuang
