The Breast Health Foundation is a Not for Profit Company (NPC) established in April 2002 in conjunction with several companies and organisations to educate the public on breast cancer and breast health, increase awareness, and empower women. BHF exists to help people in South Africa understand how to detect breast cancer early, and provides them with emotional and informative support throughout their patient journey.They work directly with communities to help people understand self-examination, entering the health system and understanding appropriate treatment options, coping with diagnosis, and navigating treatment and support systems. They hope to put to rest the myths surrounding breast cancer and to create an open forum where women feel comfortable seeking help.
