Achievement

Since 2008, in collaboration with allied NGO’S, the Women’s Health Initiative Committee continued conducting an early cancer detection screening of the vital reproductive organs targeting the Women Prisoners in Barangay Kalunasan.

This is in partnership with Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS), Cebu Women’s Club and Zonta Club of Cebu 1. The project screened over 45 women prisoners, tested and referred for treatment and follow-up. Volunteer physicians and nurses provided short lectures on self-breast exam, importance of periodic screening and how to access health care needs.
