Cervical cancer is preventable and curable as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Yet... cervical cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related death for reproductive-age women, killing an estimated 342,000 women annually in countries where adequate screening and treatment are not available.
OUR APPROACH
PINCC has established clinics in over 22 countries, trained approximately 93 local healthcare professionals, screened and treated thousands of women….and counting!
PINCC is currently introducing cutting-edge technology for HPV self-testing in Kenya, India, and Bolivia. PINCC hosts screening and training for one week at each clinic site and screens an average of 1,000 women per week. Of those 1,000 women, about 30% are positive for high-risk HPV and need treatment. PINCC continues to return every six months to hold another camp for teaching and training. Once a site is adequately trained, the equipment is donated, becoming a self-sustaining clinic equipped to diagnose, treat, and eliminate cervical cancer. PINCC is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit in this community, and our annual gala is a primary source of funding that has a direct impact on the number of women we serve.
With your support, we anticipate adding two new clinic sites in Uganda and Nepal in 2024!
