We brought the Health and You programme to the women of Amadi-Ama with a cervical cancer screening day run alongside healthcare professionals.

Women were screened and given clear information about their own health and the importance of early detection. Cases that could be handled on the day were treated, and women who needed further attention were referred to the right facilities.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early. A screening day in a community hall reaches women who would not otherwise be tested.

Focus

  • Women's health
  • Early detection
  • Prevention
  • Screening
  • Health education

Outcomes

Women screened; health information provided; referrals made for further care.
