Within the first 3 months, you will support the development of a data analysis report, an economic impact calculator, an advocacy toolkit, and a strategic roadmap for scaling the approach to other regions or institutions in Brazil. This project directly supports Roche’s sustainability priority of improving equitable health outcomes by generating evidence that can help shift the perception of health from a cost to a societal investment. It is an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of public health, policy, data, and innovation while contributing to improved access for breast cancer patients.
