The U.S.–Middle East Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research is a public-private initiative that was launched in June 2006 by the US Department of State’s Middle East Partnership Initiative. The Partnership unites leading breast cancer advocates in the U.S. and the Middle East. Partner countries include the United States, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, West Bank/Gaza, Egypt and Morocco. The goal of the Partnership is to increase early detection of breast cancer and reduce mortality through improved breast cancer awareness, increased clinical resources, and research.[1] The partnership first launched in the United Arab Emirates followed by Jordan, and finally Saudi Arabia. In 2008, the Department of State announced that the Partnership was expanding activities into the West Bank/Gaza, Egypt and Morocco.
