Of the 10 million women eligible for cervical screening, only 8.4% are screened. Lack of access to screening means cervical cancer claims the lives of over 5,000 women in Ethiopia every year. Yet it is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers, if detected early and managed effectively.
In a country like Ethiopia, prevention is key. Please make a gift today and double your impact. If you would like to discuss a larger gift, please do get in touch with Anna, on anna@ethiopiaid.org.uk.
In order to save more women, health facilities need more resources. Greater awareness of cervical cancer among health professionals and within communities is key. With more trained clinical staff, well-equipped health centres and more women confident and comfortable to be examined, more lives can be saved.
Donations to this appeal will be matched up to £10,000.
Pre-screening counselling reassures women, who are guided by picture cue cards about the procedure. This covers the cause, risks, prevention strategies and a step-by-step explanation of the screening procedure.
Free screening is offered through 13 health centres.
Immediate results and on-the-spot treatment is available. (Thermal ablation/ cryotherapy)
More advanced cases are referred to the hospital and financial support is offered for women who cannot afford it.
Our partner is working to screen
15,000 women

Please donate today so that we can prevent women from developing cervical cancer and dying needlessly.
