The George W. Bush Institute is forming a public-private partnership to use PEPFAR's existing infrastructure of doctors, nurses and clinics to expand screening and treatment of women for cervical cancer and perform breast cancer education in the developing world, the Wall Street Journal reports. The goal of the partnership, which also includes the State Department, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and UNAIDS, "is to reduce the number of cervical cancer deaths by 25 percent in five years in countries where it scales up screening and treatment," WSJ writes, adding, "Its initial investment will be $75 million."
