Evaluation of performance indicators of a national breast cancer screening program in Casablanca, Morocco
The NBCSP fell short of achieving its desired performance benchmarks in the Casablanca-Settat region from 2018 to 2021, notably in screening coverage, participation, and CBE positivity rates. Annual breast cancer detection rates under the program also remained low. Additional interventions are needed to increase screening participation, standardize CBE training, and establish linkages between health facilities to limit the underestimation of breast cancer under the NBCSP.
