The overall goal of the 2024-2028 guideline is to provide a strategic guidance aimed at reducing breast cancer mortality in Ethiopia in alignment with the GBCI targets. 

The three key aims are to:

  1. Provide a framework for health facilities on the provision of high quality and effective breast cancer care services at the national level.
  2. Provide guidance to policymakers, managers, departmental heads, and other stakeholders on how to implement a breast cancer control program focused on shifting to early diagnosis of the disease over time.
  3. Incrementally improve breast cancer management to increase survival and quality of life of patients with breast cancer.
