Some time later, a close friend of mine lost his mom because of breast cancer and that gave me a push to further my research till this point."

Anzia also has the following wish after winner the competition in Cameroon:

"The next challenge is winning the finals in Dubai, getting our device recognized by the ministry of health and getting funds to producing our first 100 devices and placing them in different health centers, hospitals (both in rural and urban areas) and intellibra points."

One of the Juries, Favor Njita Ngwi pointed out that it wasn't an easy ride coming out with the winner given that all the projects were amazing.

" We had to come up with three winners, and we arrived at the conclusion that the first winner's project was really  innovative, and she deserves it,"
 said one of the Juries, Favor Njita.

This comprehensive solution not only facilitates prompt diagnosis but also offers options for medical record storage, sharing, and communication with healthcare professionals. By focusing on accessibility and efficient diagnosis, this initiative aspires to significantly impact healthcare in low- and middle-income countries, potentially saving lives and addressing the challenges associated with breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
