Almost 50% of breast cancer cases and 58% of deaths occur in less developed countries.

“It was a critical point when doctors told us about my suffering because we hardly manage hand to mouth but then a ray of light appeared which gave us a true strength and courage. I don’t have words to thank Shifa Foundation for such a huge assistance”, Ms. Shehla Commented.
“My only dream is to live for my family; Shifa Foundation has provided me with a fighting chance and for that I am thankful”. Mrs. Yasmeen, Pakistan
