Poland – Annually, 18,000 women in Poland develop breast cancer while the waiting time for an ultrasound at public healthcare facilities can take up months. Thanks to respected partners, the Philips Foundation was able to secure 1,000 ultrasounds for women in Poland. In addition, workshops were organized for women living in rural areas on the importance of self-examination, alongside nationwide training of selected gynecologists to expand access to breast examinations up to 350,000 a year.
