Did you know that treatment often requires women to travel to Portugal? These lengthy journeys take them away from their families and jobs while they face bureaucratic delays that can compromise survival chances. At Cuida d'bo, we go directly to communities, meeting women where they are. We collect data, identify those at risk, and connect them to care. Our work would not be possible without the unwavering support of partners like Clínica Sameg. Their expertise and collaboration ensure timely consultations and continuous support for women throughout their health journeys. Early detection is vital to save lives 🌍 With your support, we can continue striving for a future where every woman has equal access to healthcare. Get involved today! #Cuidadbo #BreatCancerAwareness #healthcareforall

One of our goals is to ensure that all women in Cabo Verde, especially those with limited access to healthcare, know how to detect early signs of #breastcancer and take the right steps to act. 🗣️ During our activities, we talk about this technique and collect the necessary information to guide women toward the next steps in their health care journey. 🌍 In many parts of the world, access to healthcare and information about women's health is still a privilege. We believe it must be a basic right.

Cuida d’bo began its journey in São Vicente, one of Cabo Verde’s smaller islands, home to about 76,000 people—most living in the city of Mindelo 🇨🇻 🏥Its ‘Hospital Dr. Baptista de Sousa’ is the main healthcare hub for the island and the Barlavento region, which also includes Santo Antão, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Sal, and Boa Vista. The population faces a significant cancer burden, with the disease being the third leading cause of death in Cabo Verde. Breast cancer, the most common cancer among African women, poses a major challenge for the country’s health system 👉Tackling this is now our main focus, as we work to improve survival rates through better early detection. 📊 Our Activity Report 2024 highlights the context of our work, our milestones so far, and our vision for the future: https://lnkd.in/d2RUW75M 🔎Visit our website and discover how you can contribute to our mission!

Diagnose breast cancer at an early stage 2. Deliver a diagnosis in 60 days 3. Enable patients to access multimodal treatment Over a 20-year period this could save 2.5 million lives. #GBCI

In Cabo Verde 🇨🇻 breast cancer makes up 30% of women’s cancers, yet there’s no screening program, which drastically affects survival rates. 🎯 We close October with a total of €3,883 raised over these months of activity and 675 women reached in Cabo Verde. 🤝 With your support, our breast cancer campaigns continue to serve vulnerable communities. Our team has met hundreds of women like Maria, who hesitated to visit the doctor out of fear of treatment costs, and Vera, who missed a mammogram after hearing it might be painful, or Cintia, worried for her friend, who felt too embarrassed to share her symptoms with a doctor. Others, like Vaina, confessed that her health is never a priority as they work nearly all day, every day. Cuida d’bo is committed to changing this reality, because healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥, 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬.
