Nuestra Trabajo
Durante los últimos 10 años, nos hemos enfocado en mitigar los obstáculos que enfrentan las mujeres en su trayectoria de cáncer de mama y cervical, reduciendo la brecha en la detección y tratamiento del cáncer en Cali, Colombia. También hemos trabajado para mejorar la calidad de la atención a través de la educación médica continua y videoconferencias para la comunidad médica.
