Put Her in the Picture! 💪🏾💗 Today, we celebrated the conclusion of Check Me Ltd Breast Cancer Awareness campaign with an engaging workshop at Data Girl Technologies The event was filled with meaningful activities, including discussions on what breast cancer is, its signs and symptoms, and the myths surrounding this critical issue. We also heard inspiring stories from those who have seen loved ones battle this deadly disease, highlighting the importance of community support. Participants learned about preventive measures like self-examinations and early detection treatment options, empowering them to take charge of their health. The atmosphere was vibrant, with fun games, Cherokee singing, and dancing to honor breast cancer survivors! 🎶💃 We were particularly thrilled to have a deaf and mute participant who expressed his joy in learning about breast cancer. He is eager to advocate for awareness and support others in understanding this important issue. A heartfelt thank you to our partners and sponsors, including Data Girl Technologies , Happy Me Health, and Smart Family Association, along with our incredible volunteers and participants.

About us
Women need attention along the breast care pathway depending on their personal risk profile. Every female seven to ten days after menstruation is supposed to conduct a breast self-examination to look for abnormal nodules, redness, fluid coming from the nipples, and orange skin appearance on the breast to ensure she is not at risk or has developed breast cancer. Breast cancer can be treated if noticed at an early stage. Most often, these symptoms are neglected by the victims and are left to escalate leading to more damage. Breast Cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women, and has led to the death of many women. According to the latest WHO data published in 2018 Breast Cancer Deaths in Cameroon reached 1,400 or 0.67% of total deaths. The age-adjusted Death Rate is 20.15 per 100,000 population which ranks Cameroon number 45 in the world. To curb the problem of late diagnosis of breast cancer leading to an untimely death in many young girls and women, as a result of ignorance of the disease; Check Me is a mobile application that gives directives on how to self-examine for breast cancer, creates awareness and propose nearby specialist and hospitals that diagnose and treat breast cancer. By doing this, we are therefore reducing the percentage of late diagnosis and hence untimely death.

🎗️ Together We Are Stronger 💪🏾💗 As part of the October Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, Check Me Ltd partnered with Smart Family Association, Happy Me Health, and Smart Kids Positive Community Association to bring health awareness and sensitization to Bamukong, a remote village in the Southwest region of Cameroon. 🏞️ We saw the urgent need to provide FREE consultations 🩺 and educate women on breast cancer, high blood pressure, and other critical health issues. Our team of medical professionals engaged in one-on-one discussions with the inhabitants, covering essential topics such as what breast cancer is, its signs and symptoms, myths, hygiene, and nutrition 💕. Over 60 people, aged 22-65, were empowered with the knowledge they needed! 🌸After speaking with the community, we realized that many of the inhabitants had very little knowledge about breast cancer—especially on how to perform self-examinations and understand treatment options. This underscored the importance of healthcare initiatives like this in remote areas. 🌍 That’s why platforms like CheckMe, which connect Doctors and Patients, are so impactful. People in remote areas can consult with our doctors anytime, receive medical advice, learn how to perform self-examinations, explore treatment options, and get follow-up support on their appointments and medications 💊. Accessible healthcare is just a click away! 📲 https://lnkd.in/exqfhUiV We also visited the local primary school 🏫 to teach kids about healthy practices because prevention starts young! 🌟 Representing CheckMe were Didier Yangeh , Co-Founder of CheckMe, and Sally Njoh, Researcher and Co-Founder of Happy Me Health. Together, we can bridge the healthcare gap in underserved communities! 💪🏾 #BreastCancerAwareness 🎗️ #CommunityOutreach 🌿 #HealthForAll 🌸 #TogetherWeAreStronger #CheckMeLtd #RemoteHealthAccess #OctoberCampaign 🎀 #HealthcareForAll #EmpowerCommunities

I am grateful to have attended the Breast Cancer Awareness event at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, organized by Assynath Mlay and the Women in Tech Club CMU-Africa. The insightful panel featured experts such as Apoh Eldrige from Check Me Ltd, Dr. Muhizi Eulade, and Philippa Kibugu-Decuir from Breast Cancer Initiative East Africa. The discussions provided invaluable insights into breast cancer diagnosis, early symptoms, and the importance of routine check-ups. A particular key takeaway was the fact that breast cancer also affects men, emphasizing the need for more awareness. Additionally, #AI is now playing a leading role in early detection, with innovative tools like the #CheckMeApp facilitating self-checks. Together, we stand stronger in the fight against breast cancer. #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetectionSavesLives
