MISSION
PINCC's mission is to prevent cervical cancer in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) by utilizing low-cost, yet highly effective technology methods to create sustainable programs through patient education, medical personnel training, and facility outfitting.
Most cervical cancer deaths occur in women who live in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) where adequate screening and treatment is not available. PINCC is working to make cervical dysplasia treatment available to every woman in the world so that we can stop cervical cancer from occuring. We train medical personnel and create sustainable programs to ensure long-lasting cervical dysplasia treatment is available to women everywhere. We educate and empower local communities through community outreach and education programs. PINCC is dedicated to stopping the needless deaths of women across the globe.
Bottom line:
This disease is preventable.
CLINIC SPOTLIGHT
Santa Cruz, Bolivia
In November 2023, PINCC will inaugurate a new three-year program in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, signifying the organization's progressive step in tackling cervical cancer. This collaborative initiative involves 5 U.S. Rotary clubs and the local Bolivian Rotary Club Ubari, utilizing cutting-edge technology and HPV self-testing methods. Departing from previous strategies, the program places a primary emphasis on delivering early preventative care to women in Santa Cruz, all of whom are HPV-positive.
Central to this approach is the utilization of thermal ablation as the primary treatment method for every woman identified as HPV positive through self-testing. This comprehensive program aims to establish a foundation for early intervention and preventative measures, contributing to the broader mission of combating cervical cancer in Santa Cruz and setting a precedent for future initiatives.
“Women are not dying because of untreatable diseases. They are dying because societies have yet to make the decision that their lives are worth saving: We have not yet valued women’s lives and health highly enough.”
