Salome has used the definition that it is giving a voice to the voiceless. The aim of ABC is to lobby government to write and implement a breast health policy for the country.
Why do we need a national policy? The aim is to minimize the inequalities in health service delivery in this country. There are many steps involved:
Identification of the issue
Appointment of the team
Establish policy development
Conduct research
Prepare discussion paper
Consultations stage 1
Prepare draft policy
Consultation stage 2
Adoption
Communication
Government has agreed that we need a breast health policy. It is imperative that we keep it on the agenda. Salome ended the day with "Now is the time."
