Welcome to Silip Cervix Sagip Buhay
Cervical cancer has consistently remained the second most prevalent cancer among Filipino women since the 1970s, posing a significant health challenge. Despite being largely preventable, this disease tragically claims the lives of approximately 12 women every day. This concerning reality can be attributed, at least in part, to a lack of awareness and insufficient cervical cancer screening coverage, which currently stands at a mere 1% among women aged 30 to 49 years, as reported by the WHO.
To address this pressing issue and boost screening coverage, CerviQ, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of South San Francisco (USA) District 5150 and the Cancer Coalition Philippines, will embark on a year-long initiative dedicated to promoting cancer awareness and providing cervical screenings directly to communities, including remote areas across the Philippines. Our mobile screening initiative will traverse various communities, ensuring access to screening services for all.
Our inaugural project will commence on February 26, graciously hosted by DZRH and the Rotary Club of Malate Prime. kindly check our upcoming schedule below.
However, we recognize that such endeavors cannot be accomplished in isolation. Therefore, we are actively seeking screening partners to host our upcoming campaigns in their respective communities and provide support for transportation, food, screening consumables, and stipends for our device operators, administrative staff, and screeners.
Furthermore, we welcome any form of donation to ensure the sustainability of our efforts, covering expenses such as machine wear and tear, as well as artificial intelligence software licenses.
For more information or to become a screening partner or donor, please reach out to us via mobile, Viber, or WhatsApp at 0917.544.2770, or email us at bogsrivera@endcervicalcancerph.com.
Together, let’s make strides toward a future where cervical cancer is no longer a threat to Filipino women’s health and well-being.
