Jóhanna Lilja Eiríksdóttir
Jóhanna Lilja Eiríksdóttir is the chairwoman of the BRCA Association in Iceland and a vocal advocate for improved healthcare practices regarding BRCA gene carriers. Diagnosed with a mutated BRCA2 gene in 2020, which significantly increases the risk of breast cancer, she has undergone preventive treatments to reduce these risks. Recently, she emphasized the need for reform in the operations of Landspítali, the national hospital, advocating for better monitoring and awareness for BRCA gene carriers. Her call to action comes in light of a report that suggests the implementation of personalized healthcare services to enhance patient outcomes, which she believes could prevent many cancers if effectively integrated into the healthcare system.
