Berta Cerda Álvarez

Dra. Berta Cerda Álvarez is Directora of the Instituto Nacional del Cáncer (INC), Chile's public national cancer institute. An institute news article of 29 July 2025 reports that she led its participatory public accountability report (Cuenta Pública Participativa) for 2024, which recorded more than 65,000 in-person consultations, 3,412 surgeries and 28,000 chemotherapy cycles, resolution of 86.9 percent of GES health guarantees, 17 clinical studies and the handover of the site for a new institute building, with institutional reaccreditation and robotic surgery among the goals set for 2025. The institute's website was unreachable at the time of this check, so the article was read from an archived copy.
