Cross-border Collaboration on Population Breast Health
››› Presentations Final Conference: “Cross-border cooperation is the future – Breast Health is an example” ‹‹‹
The topic "breast health" is of great interest to the population and general public in both South Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein. Initiatives have been started on both sides of the border in South Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein in order to further improve on medical provision for the population in the area of breast health. These regional programs are "Kraeftplan II" (Denmark) and "Betrifft Brust" (Germany).
The central aim of the INTERREG 4 A project "Cross-border Collaboration on Population Breast Health in South Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein" is to lay ground for regular cross-border medical services in prevention and treatment of breast health in the two regions.
In five work packages the partners establish a Danish-German network of medical, technical and administrative experts, patient organisations and further stakeholders. They compare the effectiveness and quality of the regional breast health programs and develop a medical, technical, and organisational concept for a "Cross-border Breast Cancer Centre".
