Our GlobalGiving Fundraiser to bring affordable cervical cancer screening to women around the world, in 7 more countries is still open for donations.
HERhealthEQ and Lutech Medical have partnered to deploy 100 Lutech LT-300 colposcopes to local community-based healthcare clinics in 10 countries (including Costa Rica, Indonesia, Fiji, Ghana, Lebanon, Mexico, South Africa, Zambia, and more). This project will have the ability to screen 400,000 women for cervical cancer in just two years. When fully deployed, the program will have an impact of more than 400,000 women each year. We have successfully deployed this project already in Costa Rica and are ready to launch in Ghana.
Women around the world lack adequate cervical cancer screening technology… Our project will change that.
We have already deployed 10 colposcopes to Costa Rica and they are implemented, trained, and in use…. It’s very exciting to see!! We have deployed in Ghana and are waiting for full installation.
Our program trains and equips local providers and health clinics that will offer screening as part of the preventative wellness practice in several regions of each country we are deploying in. HERhealthEQ aims to ensure that more women have a chance of early cervical cancer detection and successful treatment outcomes. Ensuring women have quality screening for cervical cancer is our goal, especially from a cancer that is easily detected and treatable when detected early.
This campaign will remain open until the goal is met. If we can secure 550 new donors, contributing $100 to our fundraiser we will be able to complete another country deployment.
