Achieving through International Collaboration
| "The BHGI is a vibrant alliance and mix of organizations, partners and individuals who share a passion to improve breast health care for medically underserved women throughout the world. By working together we created a gold standard in clinical guidelines for low- and middle-income countries that can serve other groups to address cancer or other chronic disease. Implementation is our next step in this global goal." |  |

"You can't do the work of other people in other countries. I envision BHGI as a think tank that develops tentacles into other organizations and motivates a larger group of people and that group will reach into every corner of the world, and they in turn develop their own answers for breast health care." | |
