Dr. Ryan Azcueta, AMI Deputy Group Medical Director states, “I am thrilled to support the mission and help spread information to combat breast cancer and save lives. You will hear me share Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission on various talk shows this month and beyond.”
As the leading private medical clinic providing full-service medical and trauma assistance, remote medical support with a fully licensed and certified General Practice/Paediatric Clinic, AMISL offers comprehensive primary care services, emergency care, laboratory facilities, and is fully integrated with AMI’s aero-medical evacuation (AME) network in West Africa.

The Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of Breast Cancer in Sierra Leone. They believe, “Cancer should not be a death sentence because of geography,” and plan to try their best to raise awareness. The Foundation plans on helping secondary schools, deprived communities and marketplaces because they believe these to be the most affected groups.
