Vulnerable women suffer in silence from treatable conditions like cervical cancer and fistula due to poverty and lack of access to healthcare. This leads to physical pain, social ostracization, and economic loss.
Proposed Solution
Conduct free medical camps to screen for and treat gynecological and chronic conditions. Provide health education to empower women to advocate for their own well-being.
Expected Impact
Restored health and dignity for women, enabling them to return to work and caregiving. Early detection of life-threatening conditions and reduction in health-related poverty.
