To expand access to life-saving information, screening, treatment, and support services, the organization works closely with healthcare institutions, government agencies, private sector partners, civil society organizations, and community leaders across Northern Nigeria. These collaborations strengthen community trust, improve service delivery, and ensure that women — especially those in underserved areas — receive timely and affordable care.

  A key aspect of SALCASUN’s work is partnering with hospitals, diagnostic centers, and healthcare professionals to improve access to quality screening and treatment services. Through these partnerships, women are connected to free or subsidized breast and cervical cancer screenings, clinical consultations, and referral pathways for further medical care. The organization also engages government ministries, health agencies, and local authorities to support public health campaigns, strengthen cancer control policies, and promote sustainable health interventions that reach rural and vulnerable populations.
