SEEKING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO CONDUCT AWARENESS, EDUCATION FOR EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with a majority of cases and deaths occurring in developing countries. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women in sub-Saharan Africa. However, cervical cancer is preventable and curable, at low cost and low risk, when screening to facilitate the timely detection of early precursor lesions in asymptomatic women is available together with appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Nationwide cancer registry was conducted between September and October 2010 in Malawi. www.nyasatimes.com/.../cancer-cases-on-the-rise-in-malawi-...
In a bid to reduce cases and burden of cancer in Malawi, we seek financial support to conduct cancer awareness, education and early detection. The idea for carrying out the activity was generated by the general impression about the numbers suffering from cancer, the lack of awareness amongst the public in general. To address the issues concerned with awareness campaign, the organization in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Cancer Specialists shall prepare a list of warning signs and symptoms and prevention measures on leaflets and get them distributed to the general public.
What Can You Do? Make a DONATION - Help us with funds to conduct raise awareness campaigns through: · Public awareness campaigns · Dissemination messages through community radios in all languages spoken by the people in Karonga · Publication and distribution of leaflets with cancer signs and symptoms written in all languages · Billboards |
