About the BCCE
Internationally accredited center
The Breast Care Centre of Excellence (BCCE) is an internationally accredited, multidisciplinary unit located at Netcare’s Milpark Hospital. The Centre is one of only three units outside of the USA to be awarded full accreditation by the NAPBC. What this means is that the BCCE is considered to be of the same standard as top-tier units in the USA. The medical team is made up of several different specialists in the relevant breast care fields and having this multi-disciplinary team helps to provide patients with a carefully constructed, personalised treatment plan.
At the head of our unit is Professor Carol-Ann Benn,
a renowned surgeon and top breast cancer specialist. Since the creation of the BCCE we have honed the ability to ensure safe, multi-disciplinary meetings with comprehensive feedback to patients, which allows not only for better treatment of breast related issues, but also more comprehensive and nurturing patient care. Prof Benn’s passion and dedication for providing information about breast care and access to all has been the driving force behind the unit since its creation. As such, the BCCE aims to provide the necessary information, awareness and access to all patients requiring breast care.
