EUROPA DONNA - The European Breast Cancer Coalition

EUROPA DONNA – The European Breast Cancer Coalition (ED) is an independent, non-profit organisation whose members are affiliated groups from countries throughout Europe. Europa Donna works to raise public awareness of breast cancer and to mobilise the support of European women in pressing for improved breast cancer education, appropriate screening, optimal treatment and care and increased funding for research. Member countries currently number 47, twenty-seven of which are in the European Union. ED works to ensure that advocates are provided with up-to-date, accurate, evidence-based information and training through our education and information programmes listed below. In 2024 we are celebrating 30 years of experience in successfully advocating for European policies, legislation and guidelines to guarantee best practice in breast cancer services for women throughout Europe. We also advocate for high level research to improve breast cancer treatment and outcomes for patients, e.g. working on enhancing patient engagement and involvement in projects, to ensure patient centricity in research is not only a tick in the box.
