Cervical cancer is a disease of inequity, with 90% of cases occurring in LMICs where preventative care is difficult to access. We believe where you live shouldn’t determine if you live - so we’re working to bring care where it’s needed most. #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth
We are beyond excited to announce the newest grantees under our #CervicalCancer Grants Program!
Congratulations to @CCCorganization, @TealsistersZam, & @SRHINAfrica!

Let’s honor Henrietta’s memory by advocating for ethical research practices, informed consent, access to equitable care, and remembering the woman behind the HeLa cells. 🌟🧬 #HenriettaLacks#LegacyOfScience#UnseenHeroes
In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 94% of the 350,000 cervical cancer deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
We must work towards bridging these gaps and improving access to life-saving resources and education!
📱✨ Our new Mobile Health for Mamas app is revolutionizing the way our Community Health Promoters (CHPs) manage patient data. No more manual entries—now, they capture and update data seamlessly during both home visits and outreaches, boosting both efficiency and accuracy.
🌍✨ We’re bringing comprehensive life-saving care to the last mile.
We provide essential cervical cancer education, screening, treatment, and linkages to higher care directly to women’s doorsteps and communities. 💙

Facing cervical cancer means confronting a disease of iniquity, where the heaviest burden falls on lower- and middle-income countries.
Sharing or donating means raising awareness and support to ensure every woman has access to life-saving prevention and treatment. 💪🌍
According to the WHO, cervical cancer could be the first cancer EVER in the world to be eliminated, if:
90% of girls are vaccinated
70% of women are screened
90% of women with cervical disease receive treatment
