JAKARTA - Indonesian Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin revealed, breast cancer is still a big problem in developing countries. This follows reports of the death toll reaching 685,000 cases until 2020.
"Commitment and shared responsibility of all stakeholders are very important in ensuring the success of breast cancer prevention and control through health promotion, screening, early detection, and standard treatment," said Budi Gunadi Sadikin as quoted by Antara, Sunday, August 1.
Based on the report of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Cancer Observatory 2020, it shows that around 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 of them died.
"I believe that by working together, building on our strengths and allocating sufficient resources, we can achieve better results for breast cancer control in the Southeast Asia region and globally," he said.
Meanwhile, a representative from WHO, Dr Benjamin Anderson believes that the biggest challenge for breast cancer is survival which includes reintegration, overcoming stigma, financial conditions, support and palliative services.
"For that to be effective, early detection of breast cancer must be followed up in an effective, timely manner, accompanied by treatment and support services," he said.
He also hopes that the Global Breast Cancer Initiative can reduce the death rate from breast cancer in the world by 2.5 percent per year, between 2020 and 2040.
Efforts made include health promotion activities for early detection, timely breast cancer diagnosis and comprehensive breast cancer management.
