Fundada em 2009, em 14 anos de atuação, a Américas Amigas doou 23 mamógrafos para serviços de saúde públicos e filantrópicos, viabilizou mais de 1,5 milhão de mamografias e cerca de 70 mil outros exames, além de promover mais de 35 mil horas de capacitação e treinamento para profissionais de serviços de saúde dedicados à detecção de câncer de mama.

Expansão - Para 2024, a Américas Amigas tem como meta expandir suas ações de Doação de Exames e Capacitação e Treinamento para Profissionais de Serviços Públicos e Filantrópicos - a primeira ação de Unidade Móvel acontecerá em Montes Claros – MG, de 2 a 6 de fevereiro de 2024.

Para viabilizar as suas iniciativas a Américas Amigas conta com doações, patrocínios e apoios de empresas nacionais e internacionais e pessoas físicas. Para isso, mantém campanhas ativas ao longo do ano.

"O número de pessoas atendidas – e vidas salvas, consequentemente - nos enchem de orgulho e nos incentiva a ampliar, a cada ano, nossa atuação.  Este orgulho  compartilhamos com todos nossos parceiros, profissionais de saúde, colaboradores, voluntários e, muito importante, nossos apoiadores e patrocinadores, que viabilizam nossa ação e acreditam, assim como nós, nessa iniciativa, de prover acesso gratuito a diagnóstico de câncer de mama para populações em vulnerabilidade social", afirma Andrea V. Pereira, CEO da Américas Amigas.

Em 2023, BB Seguros, Bloomberg, Calzedonia/Intimissimi, Coty/Monange, Estée Lauder, Evino, Keune, Natural One, Raia-Drogasil, Shopping Center Iguatemi, Subway e UBS Brasil - além das farmacêuticas Daiichi-Sankyo, Pfizer e Roche - foram alguns dos parceiros da ONG.

Mais sobre  Américas Amigas - Fundada em 2009, a Américas Amigas é uma Organização da Sociedade Civil, que tem como propósito contribuir e promover a redução da mortalidade por câncer de mama, principalmente para a população em situação de vulnerabilidade social, por meio de conscientização, informação e promoção de acesso à detecção e ao diagnóstico precoce da doença. A atuação da Américas Amigas está estruturada em três programas principais: doação de equipamentos e insumos, capacitação e treinamento de profissionais de saúde e doação de exames, além de ações de conscientização e informação sobre a doença.
