Liga Contra el Cáncer - Perú

What Liga Contra el Cáncer - Perú does

Liga Contra el Cáncer is a Lima-based non-profit organization founded in 1950 and recognized as the first institution in Peru dedicated exclusively to cancer prevention and early detection. Over more than 75 years of continuous operation, it has built an integrated prevention and awareness infrastructure targeting vulnerable populations across Lima and selected Peruvian regions including Piura, Trujillo, Arequipa, Chiclayo, and Ica. The organization operates two fixed detection centers (Pueblo Libre and Cercado de Lima) plus five mobile screening units (Consultorios Móviles), and runs complementary sub-brands — Productos Solidarios, Futuro Vivo, and Tejiendo Sonrisas — alongside community education and annual fundraising campaigns (Colecta).

Core clinical offerings include general cancer screening, mammography, HPV molecular testing using Cobas 6800 equipment, colonoscopy, and HPV vaccination (Gardasil 9). The underlying technology stack is conventional medical diagnostic infrastructure rather than proprietary software platforms; operational tooling includes appointment booking, an e-commerce channel for solidarity products, and CRM-adjacent donor management.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining subsidized patient service fees (screening services priced between S/. 35 and S/. 190), individual donations, corporate sponsorships (with named partners including RIMAC, Yanbal, Biersdorf, and Unilabs Peru), and e-commerce proceeds from Productos Solidarios. Operations are led by General Manager Damary Milla Saavedra, supported by a team of 51-100 employees. In recent years the organization has extended operating hours to 9 PM and progressively deployed its mobile units beyond Lima to broaden regional reach.
