    Prevention & Early Detection

    Knowledge and regular screening are the most powerful tools you have.

    Breast Health

    Self-awareness saves lives

    Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally. Most cases are detected by women themselves. Regular self-examination, combined with clinical screening, dramatically improves outcomes.

    • Monthly self-examination
    • Mammogram from age 40–50
    • Know your family history
    • Report any changes early
    • Most lumps are benign

    Cervical Health

    Almost entirely preventable

    Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. HPV vaccination and regular cervical screening (smear tests) can prevent up to 99% of cases. Yet millions of women skip screening.

    • HPV vaccine up to age 45
    • Cervical smear every 3–5 years
    • HPV causes 99% of cases
    • Pre-cancerous changes are treatable
    • No symptoms in early stages

    Ovarian Health

    The silent cancer

    Ovarian cancer is called the 'silent killer' because symptoms are vague and often dismissed. Early detection is rare but dramatically improves survival. Know the signs.

    • Persistent bloating
    • Pelvic or abdominal pain
    • Difficulty eating
    • Urinary urgency
    • Unexplained fatigue
