Public Health #15: Breast Cancer – Women Left Behind

Almost 90% of breast cancer deaths are avoidable – according to one study in Malaysia. Why are women dying unnecessarily from breast cancer? Could we save more women if we could improve access to cancer care? We explore this on our Public Health series with Azrul Mohd Khalib, CEO, Galen Centre for Health & Social Policy, Datin Paduka Prof Dr Teo Soo Hwang, CEO, Cancer Research Malaysia and Ranjit Kaur, President, Breast Cancer Welfare Association.
