Together against Breast Cancer
Since 2009, Américas Amigas has been dedicated to providing breast cancer detection and diagnosis tests, training health professionals and bringing information and awareness about the disease to society.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in Brazil and worldwide. Discovering breast cancer early increases the chances of curing the disease by up to 95%.
For this reason, Américas Amigas donates breast cancer detection and diagnosis tests from January to January in all regions of Brazil.
Américas Amigas is promoting initiatives throughout Brazil to combat breast cancer mortality among people in vulnerable situations. Join the fight with us.
The mission of Américas Amigas is to promote activities throughout the country to reduce mortality from breast cancer, mainly benefiting the socially vulnerable population, through early detection and diagnosis.
Our initiatives are in line with the following sustainable development goals.
