Breast Health International has embarked on an global campaign to support those diagnosed with breast cancer through its FUND FOR LIVING.

This program was developed by the BHI to provide assistance to all with breast cancer and their families to cover unique problems that may not be addressed or covered by the usual health insurance programs.

Resources to cover the costs of these special needs will be made available to medical centers and social service facilities to be dispensed as needed to the patients and families in their individual treatment venues.

The types of problems that this program is designed to cover may include the following: home care, child care, transportation, etc.

The Fund For Living is up and running in Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London and Western General Hospital in Edinburgh. Hospitals in the Italian cities of Bari, Perugia, La Spezia, Palermo, Firenze and Milano will have it established by the end of 2007. The BHI also hopes to develop this program throughout the USA and Germany by the end of the year as well.
