Friendly Americas and the Brazilian Navy

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in Brazil and worldwide, after non-melanoma skin cancer. According to INCA estimates, 73,920 new cases of the disease are expected each year by 2025 in Brazil. Through early diagnosis, we can increase cure rates to up to 98% by providing screenings to socially vulnerable women throughout Brazil. And thanks to the Brazilian Navy, the mammography machines donated by Américas Amigas are reaching even more women.

The fight against breast cancer in riverside communities

The Pará Auxiliary Ship and the Dr. Montenegro Ship of the Brazilian Navy are equipped with mammography devices donated by Américas Amigas and since 2010 they have been touring riverside communities in Amazonas and Pará, bringing access to early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer to these populations whose geographical barriers limit their access to health services.
