Nurse Babli Pal in Mangrauli, India knows building a relationship with the community is especially important to encourage women to come in for preventive cancer screening. She works to gain trust from hesitant women in her village by increasing health awareness and encouraging women to come to follow-up appointments. Through a Jhpiego-supported training, and in partnership with the government of Uttar Pradesh, Pal learned how to create awareness about women’s cancers, conduct breast examinations and screen women for oral and cervical cancer. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, learn more about Nurse Pal’s efforts to increase awareness and access to crucial women’s cancer screenings. https://lnkd.in/d3x9cyZz #BreastCancerAwareness

🌱 On Climate Action Day, Jhpiego is reflecting on how climate change affects health – around the world. 🌍 In a recent interview, Jhpiego President and CEO, Leslie Mancuso discussed these issues, highlighting how rising temperatures directly contributes towards a 22.4% increase in infant mortality rates and 99% of climate change-related deaths occur in developing countries with children making up over 80% of those deaths. With these devastating statistics in mind, Jhpiego is committed towards making a difference. In collaboration with Takeda, SFH Rwanda, and Mercy Corps, 1.5 million women each year will have lifesaving care using sustainable approaches! Jhpiego’s call to actions are focused on: 🌎 Developing climate-resilient care 🏥 Integrating climate-resilient care into primary health care 💻 Investing in digital health solutions 📝 Planning for sustainability and scale With bold vision and courageous action, together we can combat climate-related health challenges! #ClimateActionDay #ClimateChangesHealth

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is crucial to increase awareness about how breast cancer impacts women around the world. In low- and middle-income countries, breast cancer is often diagnosed late, which significantly increases mortality rates. In response to this, Jhpiego is introducing and expanding programs that promote early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer in Botswana, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and India. These programs aim to increase access to clinical breast examinations, promote breast health awareness, build strong referral pathways to diagnostics and treatment, and work with governments to improve capacity for diagnosis and treatment.

For two years, Joana sought care for a growth in her left breast. She visited local doctors several times, but it did not help. As her condition worsened, it became increasingly difficult for Joana to find work – making her world smaller. That is until she made a visit to a Jhpiego-supported health fair during breast cancer awareness month where Joana found relief and understanding about her breast health. Suspecting cancer, the nurses referred Joana to José Macamo Hospital, where she received a diagnosis, treatment and hope for the future. Learn more about Joana and Jhpiego’s women-centered approach to breast health. https://lnkd.in/e-w_KifN
