U.S. Public Diplomacy Envoy Fran Drescher Raises Awareness of Women’s Cancer

Along with Ambassador Foley and the Prime Minister’s wife, Klára Dobrev, Ms. Drescher led hundreds of people across the pink-lit Chain Bridge in a widely-covered event highlighting breast cancer awareness. She also spoke frankly with young medical students at Semmelweiss University of the critical need for doctors to adopt a patient-centered approach in providing high-quality health care and in diagnosing and treating cancer.

She also met with leading businesswomen and media figures at a luncheon hosted by the Ambassador to encourage them pursue the cause of women’s health. In a meeting with Hungary’s Surgeon General, Drescher urged him to focus greater attention on the government’s role in cancer prevention among the Hungarian public."
