This project report explores the use of a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach by the Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) to integrate health perspectives into affordable housing policy and practice in Georgia. It focuses on five interconnected projects from over a decade-long collaboration to illustrate how the GHPC team started with a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to seed cross-sector partnerships and then sustained them through subsequent collaborations. These projects included comprehensive-, intermediate-, and rapid-scale HIAs, as well as direct collaborations on housing development funding applications and a multidisciplinary research study on public housing renovations.

Background/objectives: The first reimbursed prescription for palbociclib (Palbo) in breast cancer patients in Romania was issued in July 2018. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and adherence to Palbo in combination with aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant in a real-world cohort of HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients from Romania.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of reimbursed Palbo prescriptions was conducted using data extracted from the electronic database of the Romanian Health Insurance House, Dolj County, for disease code 124 (breast cancer), covering the period from 2018 to 2023.
