Breast Cancer Founation of Egypt

History
A small group of 24 founding members, Egyptians and expatriates concerned with the high incidence of breast cancer and the lack of related support services in Egypt joined together to form an organization to address the problem. Individually they represent health care professionals, breast cancer survivors, and civic spirited citizens. Collectively they are a driving force to bring breast cancer awareness, education, and services to Egyptian women.

The Breast Cancer Foundation of Egypt (BCFE) is an NGO registered with the Ministry of Social Solidarity, registration number 5840/2004.
