JE Consulting is proud to support our partner, eMQT, in championing a crucial cancer screening initiative 🌟   Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, faces alarmingly high cancer mortality rates due to late-stage diagnoses, fear, misunderstanding, and high medical costs. Over 95% of cancer cases in Nigeria are diagnosed too late for effective treatment, exacerbating an already challenging situation.   To tackle this critical issue, eMQT and the Foundation for Cancer Care in Lagos are organising cancer screening drives, starting with Breast and Cervical Cancer screening in October 2024. 🎗️ Why This Initiative is Crucial: 1. Early Detection Saves Lives: Timely screenings can significantly reduce cancer mortality by catching the disease in its early, more treatable stages. 2. Breaking Barriers: This initiative aims to overcome the fear, misunderstanding, and financial barriers that prevent many Nigerians from seeking timely medical care. 3. Community Health Empowerment: By providing accessible screenings, we empower our community with knowledge and resources to fight cancer effectively. 🙌 How You Can Help: We need your support to make this initiative a success. Join us in spreading the word, raising funds, and supporting our community. 🔗 Donate Now: https://lnkd.in/e4zbimbQ Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer in Nigeria. Let’s stand united in our mission to save lives and build a healthier future for all. #CancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #BreastCancer #CervicalCancer #ProstateCancer #HealthInitiative #CommunityCare #eMQT #FoundationOfCancerCareLagos #PharmaPartnership

Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder affecting haemoglobin production. Thalassemia major (Cooley’s anaemia) is the severe form where the body cannot produce enough haemoglobin, leading to anaemia, developmental delays, and the need for regular blood transfusions. Thalassemia minor, or the carrier state, is less severe; individuals typically have no symptoms or mild anaemia but can pass the gene to their children. Both forms are inherited when mutations occur in the HBB gene, which is responsible for haemoglobin production. Diagnosis is confirmed through blood tests, and treatment depends on the severity of the condition. فرض نبھائیں ۔۔۔۔۔۔ زندگی بچائیں #Charity #Donation #Savelives #Helpinghand #Zakat #USALahore #Helpingothers #Bloodcamp #Thalassemia #Patients #Donate #Support #Poor #Needy #causes #donationsneeded #money #LUMS #LSC #PU #Universities #colleges #schools #companies #factory #blooddonationsneeded

This is my nephew Hridaan, a 16-month-old with SMA Type 2, caused by a missing gene that affects his ability to do what other kids his age can. But there’s hope! Thanks to advanced science, a gene therapy called *Zolgensma* can give him a chance at a better life. This life-changing treatment costs ₹14 crore, and we’ve raised ₹37 lakh so far. As salaried employees, we can’t do this alone. We need your help. Imagine being part of a journey that can change the very building blocks of life—the gene! If 13 lakh people donate just ₹100, we can reach our goal. Please donate via the link in my bio or share this with as many people as possible. Hridaan has until 23 months for this treatment, so let’s act fast and help him live the life he deserves.

🌟 **Help Ketki Hemraj Ashtankar Make a Difference for Hridaan** 🌟 🌟 **Join in Supporting Hridaan’s Fight Against SMA** 🌟 Dear LinkedIn Community, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for support for Hridaan, who is just 1.3 years old and has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic disorder that affects muscle control and can be life-threatening. Despite being a vibrant child, Hridaan is struggling to meet developmental milestones. A promising treatment, Zolgensma, could make a difference, but the cost is staggering. A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to help cover the expenses of Hridaan’s treatment, and your support is crucial. Whether you can contribute or simply share this post, your help means the world. Let’s unite to give Hridaan the chance he deserves to live a healthy life. 💙 **Donation details are linked below.** Any amount, big or small, brings us closer to our goal. Thank you for your kindness and support! #SMA #SupportHridaan #Crowdfunding #GeneTherapy

I'd like to share this short but interesting clip about the Union for International Cancer Control (#UICC). I was thrilled to see the positive reactions from our healthcare professionals and clinicians at #MAHAK during the sessions of our Training workshop about UICC, being held at MAHAK International department. Thanks to my trainer assistant for this round, Shaghayegh (Sherry) Alavi, who prepared the clip with native language subtitles. I encourage everyone to visit both websites to learn more about this shared mission and the untiring fight to decrease the inequality in cancer care around the world: #www.uicc.org#mahak-charity.org/en Aligned with their partnership, MAHAK and UICC, share the determination to fight cancer and reduce inequality in care, ensuring no one—especially children—faces this journey alone.

Day 24: Building a Supportive Ecosystem for Patients and Families Childhood cancer does not just affect the child—it impacts the entire family. A supportive ecosystem is vital, providing emotional, financial, and psychological support to families throughout the cancer journey. In Nigeria, where resources are often limited, building this ecosystem requires community, NGOs, and government collaboration. We need more efforts to make sure no family fights this battle alone. #GoldSeptember #childhoodcancerawarenessmonth #innovationforall Photo credit: Childhood Leukemia Foundation CURE Childhood Cancer WHO Foundation International Society of Paediatric Oncology - SIOP SIOP Africa St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Coalition Against Childhood Cancer (CAC2) World Child Cancer St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - ALSAC Childhood Cancer International Campus Cancer Awareness Initiative Nigeria (CCAIN)

I am reaching out to you to seek your generous support for a cause that deeply touches our hearts and aligns with your esteemed organization's commitment to social responsibility. Background: Angad, my bright and courageous 20-month-old nephew, has been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a devastating genetic disorder that gradually weakens muscles and steals away a child's ability to move, breathe, and ultimately live. The costs associated with his treatment, therapy, and necessary medical interventions are overwhelming for our family. Our Appeal: Angad requires a lifesaving gene therapy injection, ELEVIDYS (Delandistrogene Moxeparvovec ROKL). This treatment, which is not manufactured in India, is critical to managing the disease and preventing life-threatening complications. The cost of this one-off injection is approximately US$ 3.2 million (around INR 26 crore). Timely administration of this medication is crucial, as it is most effective when given early. We seek your support to help fund this essential treatment and save Angad's life. We are reaching out to socially responsible corporate leaders like you to help us raise funds for Angad's medical care and support. Your contribution will not only provide immediate relief but also offer hope and improved quality of life for Angad. Please refer to the following attachment.

Pakistan: Highest Rate of Breast Cancer in Asia... This was the heading of an article in a Pakistani newspaper today. The article emphasized the importance of raising awareness and stated: "Raising awareness is crucial, but saving lives through early detection is our ultimate goal." This is a goal that Breag wholeheartedly supports. However, the article surprisingly omitted a critical issue: many low-income families cannot afford essential treatment. According to the World Bank, about 25% of Pakistan’s population lives below the poverty line. While breast cancer treatments are often subsidized and free mammograms are available, the cost of biopsy needles—around €30—remains a significant barrier. For families struggling to meet their basic needs, this amount is simply unaffordable. This oversight highlights a serious gap in the fight against breast cancer. Early detection is vital, but diagnosing the specific type of cancer through a biopsy is crucial for effective treatment. Yet, this essential step remains inaccessible to many. Breag is committed to addressing this challenge. While our current sales remain modest, we are proud to donate an average of five biopsy needles per month to individuals who cannot afford them. Will this solve the problem entirely? No. But does every person supporting BREAG help make a difference in the lives of those in need? Absolutely! Meanwhile, we continue broadcasting our message loud and clear: Check Your Breasts. #CYB #Povertyreduction #Socialenterprise
