The Jordan Breast Cancer Program (JBCP) is a nation-wide program led and supported by the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center and the Ministry of Health for the development and provision of comprehensive services for the early detection and screening of breast cancer for all women in Jordan.
JBCP was established in 2007 to coordinate breast cancer early detection efforts across Jordan, provide screening services to Jordanian women, and raise public awareness about breast cancer. At the onset of the Program, more than 70% of breast cancer cases in the country were being detected at advanced stages of the disease (stages III and IV), whereby survival rates are low and treatment costs are much higher.
