Focus on Integrated Communications at American Cancer Society Training for 14 Latin American NGOs in Rio de Janeiro
The American Cancer Society hosted its third training for the Latin America Regional Health Grants Program June 14-19 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The three-year program aims to improve cancer control in the region through early detection. Twenty-eight representatives from 14 of the leading cancer control nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) participated in the training, funded by Pfizer, Inc., and the Pfizer Foundation, which focused on “Integrated Communications: Internal Management, Media Relations, and Expanding Impact.” The curriculum for the training was presented by faculty including experts on cancer control and public policy.

The mission of the American Cancer Society is to eliminate cancer as a major health problem.
Because cancer is a global health problem, this mission extends around the world. Cancer is increasing as a leading killer globally, especially in the developing world.
The American Cancer Society is emerging as a global leader in
addressing the growing cancer burden. We fight cancer through three
areas of global mission delivery: advocacy, capacity building, and
information.
