Did you know breast cancer is not only the most commonly occurring cancer in women but also the most common type of cancer worldwide? ⁠ ⁠ Unfortunately, outcomes are largely impacted by where in the world patients live. Cancer deaths are much higher in developing regions, and sub-Saharan Africa has the highest mortality rates globally. ⁠ ⁠ That’s why our 2022 Greater Giving initiative is focused on funding breast cancer treatment in Ethiopia through our longtime partner @cityofhope. Proceeds from our Pink Sleeve sales will support:⁠ ⁠ - Nursing education in sub-Saharan countries, benefiting 360 nurses who will then teach others.⁠ - Pathology capacity building which aims to improve breast cancer diagnosis and treatment by training laboratory technicians and providers in tissue processing and analysis.⁠ - Oncology unit projects focused on strengthening breast cancer treatment in a hospital in Hawassa, Ethiopia which serves 23 million people.⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS:⁠ 1) A woman taking care of her children at home. Most breast cancer patients in Ethiopia are young women aged late 30s to early 40s, many of whom are mothers caring for children.⁠ 2) An oncology nurse checks the flow of chemotherapy drugs for a woman with diagnosis of breast cancer. Here, patients will receive chemo and stay for one day in the treatment center before returning home.⁠ 3) A woman with diagnosis of cancer visits Hawassa University’s hospital cancer treatment center for chemotherapy.⁠ 4) This woman and her children, who live in a rural area, walk up to 2 hours from their home to reach town. Travel can be difficult for rural residents seeking medical care.⁠ ⁠ Learn more at revitalash.com/blogs/news⁠
