En route to life. 250 Mexicans get cancer care

En route to life. 250 Mexicans get cancer care

Organization information

Asociacion Mexicana contra el Cancer de Mama A.C

Location: Mexico City, Mexico

Summary

Thousands of Mexican women are diagnosed with breast cancer yearly, and some are unable to access treatment due to the lack of oncology institutions. Women in the State of Hidalgo, where 86% of the population lives in poverty, must travel to Mexico City to receive care. The lack of resources, as well as the remoteness of their homes, prevent them from getting the care they need. CIMA will ensure transportation for 250 cancer patients form their homes to the clinics to receive their treatment.
