March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about a silent and often overlooked health concern affecting women.   At Feature Medical, we understand the importance of proactive healthcare, highlighting the significance of early detection and preventive measures.   While we typically focus on providing top-tier medical concierge and wellbeing services to companies and their employees, we recognise the need to address specific health concerns that impact women.   Follow @Macmillan @TargetOvarian for the latest information on the symptoms and how to get involved with fundraising this month. Always remember to speak to your GP if you are concerned about symptoms.   #OvarianCancerAwareness #EmpowerHerHealth #FeatureMedical #FeatureMedicalLife

"1/3 of adults with cancer need help with personal activities and 1/2 need help with domestic and leisure activities..."

Access to treatment is a human right. But millions of people around the world are still denied this basic human right when it comes to health. Did you know that cancer is the second-leading cause of death around the globe? Many people in low- and middle-income countries face challenges such as lack of awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and care. We can change this though. We can make health a human right for everyone, everywhere, by ensuring that no one suffers or dies from cancer because of where they live. That’s why we're working hard to improve the health and well-being of people whom no one else is helping. We partner with local communities, governments, physicians, corporate, and nonprofit organizations to provide access to treatment and help make health a human right for all ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾✊🏼 https://buff.ly/46fecKu #HumanRightsDay #TheMaxFoundation #HealthEquity

Sunday is World Cancer Day. We know that regular preventive screenings are critically important in the fight to prevent this deadly disease. Yet long wait times for appointments can mean some patients must wait weeks or months to be seen. And many more delay care because traveling to a doctor's office means taking time off work or paying for transportation they can't afford. Mobile health care clinics can help to eliminate these barriers by serving communities in need and meeting people where they are. Some roving units can even provide their clients with cancer screenings on the spot - no appointment necessary. To learn more about the mobile clinics serving your community, check out our interactive map at MobileHealthMap.org. #WorldCancerDay #MobileClinics #HealthCareForAll #Prevention #Medicine #Community #PublicHealth
