In Nicaragua, cervical cancer is claiming hundreds of lives each year, and more than 6 women daily begin a path of uncertainty, both for themselves and their families after a diagnosis of cancer.
The good news is that if we detect the disease in the early stages, no woman should die. These women could receive the treatment they need in their own communities from doctors and nurses trained to treat the precursor lesion of cervical cancer.
What is Movicáncer doing to prevent women from continuing to die? In previous years, more than 86,000 women received a free HPV test for timely detection of precursor lesions through the visit of medical brigades from the Ministry of Health with the support of the Movicancer Foundation in remote communities. These women are receiving early treatment when they are detected with precancerous lesions even before they show symptoms of the disease.
The Movicancer Foundation, with the support of AMCA since the beginning of this year and more recently with the support of TogetHER, has also been training doctors and nurses to care for affected women, donating the necessary medical equipment and supplies to offer treatment free of charge to more women. This program is a great victory against cervical cancer!
What do we want to do? With your donation we can do more and go further! Thanks to the cervical cancer prevention program based on the HPV test, we have identified more than 6,000 women who need medical evaluation and treatment based on thermocoagulation; we know who they are, where they are and what to do to heal them in their own communities.
Did you know that with only US $9.00 (nine US dollars) we can provide medical assistance and treatment to a woman with pre-cervical cancer lesions? Why do we need your help? We all have reasons to be thankful and show gratitude. The Movicancer Foundation is committed to changing suffering for joy in women who have defeated cervical cancer. With your donation we can bring health and hope to these women who are in the communities, eliminating suffering and death from cervical cancer.
