Areas of action

The challenge

Decisions regarding the surgical management of cancer vary widely depending on the availability of resources, access to healthcare coverage, and the institutional background in which the surgeon received training.
There is no established institutional culture, neither in public nor private healthcare settings, that consistently standardises multidisciplinary, collegial decision-making processes.
Lack of multidisciplinary surgical systematised management for colorectal and breast cancer.

The goal

To increase access and accelerate initiation of surgical treatment for colorectal and breast cancer through patient management in designated medical units with quality, standardised multidisciplinary management.

The How

Working with Hospital Aranda de la Parra and Hospital Christus Muguerza Altagracia project teams and international experts develop multidisciplinary surgical management, standardised protocols and a continuous capacity building plan.

Outputs

Design and implement a model for multidisciplinary surgical management of colorectal cancer based on standardised protocols.
Design and implement a model for multidisciplinary surgical management of breast cancer based on standardised protocols.
