🌸 This Women’s Day, let’s honour our incredible ASHA workers — the backbone of India’s healthcare system 🩷 PHRII has trained 147 ASHAs in cervical cancer prevention as part of our ongoing capacity-building efforts and screened 81 of them for HPV. These fierce, compassionate women go door-to-door, ensuring every mother, child, and family receives the care they deserve. Their work often goes unseen, but their impact is undeniable. ❤️🩹 Here’s to their strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication to community health. 🌿 Strong women build healthy communities. 💪🏽 #WomensDay #ASHAWorkers #HealthcareHeroes #WomenInHealth #PublicHealth #SheLeadsSheHeals #cervicalcancer #cancerprevention poornima jayakrishna Purnima Madhivanan raghavi karnam Devanshi Somaiya, MD, MPH Kiranmayee Muralidhar Kavitha Ravi anisa khan

🛡️ Myth-Busting Monday: Meet Your Cervix! Let’s break the myths and reveal the facts about this powerful but often misunderstood organ! ❌ Myth: The cervix is just a passive part of the body with no real function. ✅ Fact: Your cervix is a #dynamic #organ that plays a vital role in protecting your reproductive organs, during pregnancy, and childbirth. It acts as a barrier against infections and regulates reproductive health. ❌ Myth: The cervix stays the same throughout your life. ✅ Fact: Your cervix #naturally #changes throughout your life—during your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause. It shifts position, opens and closes, changes its texture and alters mucus consistency depending on hormones and reproductive needs. ❌ Myth: A healthy cervix doesn’t need screening. ✅ Fact: Regular #screening is essential—even if you feel healthy. Early detection #prevents 90% of cervical cancer cases and saves lives! 📢 Your cervix is a key player in your reproductive health—take care of it! #MythBustingMonday #KnowYourCervix #ReproductiveHealth #CervicalHealth #ScreeningSavesLives #HPVPrevention #WomenHealthMatters ------------------------- Quality, Equity, and Inclusiveness (QEI) in Public Health | India HIV/AIDS Alliance | American Cancer Society | Indian Cancer Society | Association of Healthcare Providers - AHPI (India) | CAPED India | Centre for Health Innovation and Policy (CHIP) Foundation | Chase India | ECHO India | Empower School of Health | EngenderHealth | Foundation for Survival of Women and Children | #GullaabSevafoundation | Health Systems Transformation Platform | Jivika Healthcare | JSI | John Snow India Pvt.
