TogetHER for Health

Don't miss this conversation between the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and our Executive Director Heather White on TogetHER's efforts to end #CervicalCancer around the world and what's standing in the way of eliminating this preventable cancer. #WorldCancerDay #UnitedByUnique #HPV #CervicalHealth

TogetHER's efforts to fight for cervical health are powered by our fiscal sponsor Panorama Global. They were kind enough to spotlight us for #WorldCancerDay - more below!

Take some time to read this piece from our Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Kathryn Vizas. #HPV vaccines are safe and effective. The real-world evidence of their lifesaving benefit continues to mount as immunized women see their chances of developing #CervicalCancer fall toward zero. U.S. citizens need health leaders that follow evidence and science, not leaders who stand to benefit personally from deadly misinformation.

It was an honor to collaborate with the The Commonwealth on this report calling for the need for holistic support for all three #CervicalCancer elimination pillars: #HPV vaccination, high-performance screening, and, where necessary, safe, effective, lifesaving treatment.

A new report by the Commonwealth Secretariat and TogetHER for Health, Strengthening the Pathway to Cervical Cancer Elimination, highlights how integrated strategies are driving progress in the fight to eliminate cervical cancer. From HPV vaccines to innovative screenings and community-driven interventions. Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/4hxpFvi

As part of our commemoration of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, we are putting a focus on our Cervical Cancer Grants Program grantees, to whom we awarded support to strengthen their innovative cervical cancer prevention projects in low- and middle-income countries. To date, we have awarded 11 grants cross ten countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, supporting programs that have facilitated the training of 100 health workers and enabled 30,000 girls and women to receive vaccination, screening and treatment to date. We’re proud to have supported these organizations and their incredible work to preserve cervical health in low-resource settings, and suggest you follow their lifesaving efforts: -Grounds for Health -Jhpiego -Fundación Movicáncer -SLUM AND RURAL HEALTH INITIATIVE NETWORK -Teal Sisters Foundation and their Executive Director Karen Nakawala -ROSE Foundation -Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services -CureCervicalCancer -Women Together Global If you’re wondering, we are in the early stages of planning our next funding cycle and expect to updates in Spring of 2025.

New Policy Report: Strengthening the Pathway to Cervical Cancer Elimination Since the launch of the WHO's global cervical cancer elimination strategy, HPV vaccination efforts have made remarkable strides in expanding access thanks to significant political and financial support. Unfortunately, that same level of support has eluded the other two key cervical cancer elimination pillars: screening and treatment. If screening and treatment programs don’t receive similar commitment as vaccination, millions of women today bear unacceptable risk for a preventable disease. This new report - published by TogetHER in partnership with the The Commonwealth Secretariat with support from Roche - lays out the case for increasing investments toward a holistic approach to global cervical health, with a focus on high-performance cervical cancer diagnostics such as HPV viral testing, providing case studies on successful implementation of programs in low-resource settings. It also highlights the importance of strengthening health systems and of building awareness of cervical cancer and cervical cancer prevention.

TogetHER is proud to launch Voices TogetHER, an ongoing series shining a light on people and programs striving tirelessly to inspire, educate and ultimately reach girls and women with information and services to reduce cervical cancer risk among women today, and protect girls in the future. We’re excited to kick off the series by sharing a short video which provides perspective on our work, our programs, our priorities, and our partners, some of whom we’ll be highlighting in future Voices TogetHER installments. Looking forward to sharing these throughout 2025! #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth #cervicalcancer  #hpv  #hpvawareness  #hpvvaccines  #globalhealth #cervicalhealth #healthadvocacy  #cervicalhealth #cervicalscreening #cervicaltreatment #globalhealth https://lnkd.in/gkMTGaSk

HPV testing for cervical cancer prevention is more accurate and scalable than more established visual methods and cytology, but the cost of tests limits access for many women around the world. Our partners at the Sabin Vaccine Institute's Global HPV Consortium spotlighted our recent publication exploring the potential for pooled procurement to reduce the cost of HPV testing and expand its impact.
