January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month: make it a point this month to learn how to protect your health and be an advocate for women's health equity. https://lnkd.in/gFwc783Y #cervicalcancerawareness

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death among women, especially in the Global South, where access to early screening is limited. We urgently need innovative screening devices that can be integrated into primary care systems, ensuring accessibility, privacy, and ease of use within communities. We need breakthroughs that can save lives by enabling early detection and treatment. Can we bridge the healthcare gap and create solutions that empower women everywhere and turn the tide against cervical cancer? #cervicalcancer #phc #decentralisedcare #HPV #CervicalCancerAwareness #PreventCervicalCancer #CervicalHealth #HPVawareness #CervicalCancerPrevention #EndCervicalCancer

“Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women.” – Michelle Obama In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness we walked with strength in our veins and honor for those who are impacted by breast cancer. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes. Get all your screenings and most importantly ADVOCATE for yourself if you feel something is off. Women spend 25% more of their lives in debilitating health than men, according to a report from the World Economic Forum and the McKinsey Health Institute. The women’s health gap includes a persistent data gap, with women being underdiagnosed for certain conditions compared to men. The health care system needs to do better. I pray for all illnesses and pain to be eradicated from this world. I hope we can all support those who are struggling, advocate for more research in to women’s health, and show support for the cause however that may be. #womenshealth #breastcancerawarenessmonth #departmentofhumanservices #breastcancer #advocateforwomensrights #womenshealth

Cervical cancer remains a significant global health challenge, disproportionately affecting women in low- and middle-income countries. It is the second most common cancer among women in India, and out of these, 20% are below 40 years of age. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial for improving outcomes and saving lives. We must prioritize research, improve access to care, and empower women with the knowledge and tools to protect their health. #cervicalcancer #cervicalcancerawarenessmonth #thbgroup

From 2014-2018, New Jersey women faced a significantly higher breast cancer incidence rate compared to the national average (137.2 vs. 129.1 per 100,000). This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for accessible, comprehensive breast health services in our state. It's a call to action for all of us to prioritize awareness, support timely screenings, and empower women with the resources they need for early detection. Let's work together to change these numbers and save lives. Your health is your wealth—don't put off your regular screenings.

Ovarian cancer is a challenging disease, and for non-Hispanic White women, survival rates are 40-42%. However, for Black women, survival rates are even lower at 29-31%, and there are many factors contributing to this discrepancy, from unconscious bias to hospital system factors to insurance coverage and incidences of comorbidities. I spoke with DocWire News recently to discuss the health disparities faced by Black women with ovarian cancer and the screening options and symptoms that women can look out for to proactively look out for their health.
