Over the past few months, Gynocare Fistula Centre has continued its mission to restore dignity, health, and hope to women and girls through innovative care and community outreach. We are proud to share that we have successfully hosted two Mini Laparoscopy Surgical Camps and Workshops, three impactful days of teamwork, skill, and compassion that brought advanced care closer to women who need it most. From managing fibroids and ovarian cysts to addressing sub-fertility, chronic pelvic pain, and fistula surgeries, every procedure marked a step toward restoring health and dignity.
Our community outreach initiatives have provided lifesaving women’s health interventions. Over 250 women received cervical cancer screening, 50 underwent HPV DNA testing, and 600 girls received the HPV vaccine, protecting a new generation against cervical cancer and empowering them to take charge of their health.
We also conducted five fistula screening and cervical cancer outreach campaigns, reaching women in remote communities who would otherwise lack access to care. To further empower survivors, we held two Women’s Fistula Survivors and Stoma Business Workshops, where over 30 women were supported to start small businesses. These workshops provided skills training and mentorship, fostering economic independence and confidence among survivors.
A major highlight was the Stoma Awareness and Support Initiative, where women were educated on attaching and managing stomas safely. Through this effort, Chameleon Buddies established a dedicated hub, the Tumaini Hub, supported by Gynocare. The hub provides free stoma bags, personalized health advice, and peer support for patients with stomas, ensuring continuous care and dignity.
We remain deeply grateful to our donors and partners, whose generosity fuels this work and makes every milestone possible. Every contribution helps us expand access to quality healthcare, train medical professionals, and empower more women to heal and thrive.
Together, we are proving that when women are supported, entire communities flourish.
