💗 October is a vital month for cancer awareness, including both Cervical Cancer and Breast Cancer. 👉 In Nigeria, linking cervical cancer screening with breast cancer initiatives could be a powerful approach to improving women's health, as both cancers affect a significant number of women annually. 🙎♀️ Cervical Cancer is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). 🤦♀️Screening for cervical cancer involves procedures like Pap smears and HPV testing, which detect precancerous changes, allowing for early treatment before the disease progresses. 👧 Why Integrate Cervical and Breast Cancer Screening? Shared Target Audience: Both screenings focus on women of reproductive age and beyond, making it practical to conduct them simultaneously. 👩❤️👩👫Support Our outreach and Awareness Campaigns Financial Sponsorship Product Contributions Promotional Collaboration Provision of Mobile Clinics Funding our Outreach Programs: Financial contributions can support outreach initiatives, particularly in low-income areas where healthcare access is limited. Scholarship for our Health Advocates: Provide scholarships or grants for advocates, volunteers, and healthcare workers who are passionate about women's health, ensuring they receive the training and resources needed to conduct effective screening programs. Support for Awareness Events: Philanthropists can fund educational campaigns, media engagements, and awareness events during Cancer Awareness Month to reach a wider audience. The Role of the Awareness Campaign Your campaign aims to increase access to both Cervical Cancer and Breast Cancer screening, provide free or subsidized services, and educate women about preventive measures. By engaging brands, the health sector, and philanthropists, the campaign will not only raise awareness but also break down financial and accessibility barriers that hinder women from accessing timely and accurate screenings. Free Educational Workshops: Host workshops and seminars that teach women about the importance of regular screenings, self-examinations, and recognizing early warning signs. Live-streaming Events: Use social media and live streaming to reach a broader audience, allowing those who cannot attend in person to participate and learn. By aligning cervical and breast cancer awareness under a unified screening effort, the campaign has the potential to foster a culture of proactive health management among Nigerian women. It will also signal to brands, healthcare providers, and philanthropists that a collaborative approach can make a lasting impact. World Health Organization UNICEF UN Women Unilab, Inc.

What was the missing piece in traditional healthcare? 🧩 The voice of people with lived experience. People with lived experience are a crucial part of healthcare collaborations. Patients are experts in their own journey and their stories can help collaboratives develop a more empathetic and patient-centred approach.
