One in eight women develops breast cancer in her lifetime. In 9 out of 10 cases, if detected early enough, we can recover from breast cancer, and we have a role to play.

Even if many countries deploy screening programs, it is clear that they often tend to favor the quantity of people screened to the detriment of quality, which can lead to the opposite effects of the desired objective by discrediting the program among target populations who may then turn away from it.

To significantly improve the chances of remission for affected women, it is necessary to:

Doing as much prevention as possible so that as many women as possible are screened regularly

Ensuring that testing programs are efficient

This is why C3Medical Consulting offers end-to-end support to institutions in countries where the management of oncological diseases is a priority (Ministry of Health, regions, national cancer treatment center).

This support includes:

  1. A good understanding of the country’s specific issues in relation to cancer screened (typology of the population, capacity to treat, percentage of people affected, remission rate, etc.)
  2. Analysis of the current screening program (if there is already one), its deployment, governance, monitoring indicators and their evolution
  3. Carrying out a diagnosis of the problems encountered in the screening in relation to the relevant reference systems and the identification of gaps, via interviews, trend analyses and site visits
  4. The proposal of concrete and adapted improvement actions at both quantitative and qualitative levels (with associated objectives) and “best practices” relating
    to:
    the organization of the program and in particular the various exams and readings
    – the equipment used (types and technologies)
    – the processes to be implemented (equipment adjustments, accreditation of centres, reading controls, data storage)
    training and skills monitoring
    – quality  management methods and indicators to be managed
  5. Preparation with the project management team of communication tools to support the change
  6. Support for the implementation of actions with the teams concerned (in the central and in the field)
  7. Securing the success of the project by facilitating, monitoring, facilitating the resolution of problems encountered, appropriate communication and measuring key indicators
