US-Middle East Partnership in the News: CNN Vital Signs

This past October, CNN’s Barbara Starr attended the Partnership’s Regional Breast Cancer Advocacy Conference in Amman, Jordan, and produced the above piece for the show Vital Signs. The report highlights the advocacy efforts of Dr. Samia al-Amoudi, a Saudi obstetrician and long-time Partnership supporter. Starr also interviews Dr. Mahmoud Sarhan, director general of Jordanian partner institution King Hussein Cancer Center. The report underscores many key issues discussed at the conference such as how to dispel cultural taboos, how to convince women to do self breast examinations, and increasing the number of women screened.
