Assessing Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Management in Ghana per the Global Breast Cancer Initiative Key Performance Indicators
Ghana met the GBCI KPI for timely diagnosis (<60 days of presentation) but fell short in early detection (≥60% early breast cancer) and treatment completion without abandonment (>80%). Our findings provide baseline data for planning system-wide improvements toward the GBCI's goal of reducing breast cancer mortality by 2.5% annually.
