Improving Access to High Quality Women's Cancer Services

To us, there is one clear goal: ensure women can access the cancer care they need, when they need it. Our proven model of service achieves this goal while serving some of the most vulnerable women in the world 

Our Approach

The Friends of Africa, Inc. increases access to high quality women’s cancer care by facilitating knowledge transfer, infrastructure development, and various outreach formats

Mass Women's Cancer Screening Camp

Stationary Women's Cancer Screening Clinic

Knowledge Transfer

Knowledge transfer is accomplished through a process of South-South mentoring and a novel surgical intensification program rendered by a tight knit team of seasoned and highly skilled African and U.S. surgical oncologists (gynecologic and breast) and women's cancer prevention nurse-specialists. Low-cost medical and telecommunications technology are used to enhance the educational process.

Infrastructure Development

The Friends of Africa, Inc. makes wise investments in the development of local cancer care infrastructure through the procurement of screening, diagnostic and treatment technology that is durable, affordable, and appropriate for low-resource settings.
