PATIENT IDENTIFICATION CHALLENGE; RWANDA
PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Cervical cancer screenings
Learn more about the Patient Identification Challenge and why identifying individuals in need of medical treatment and finding ways to make that treatment accessible reduces poverty.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Through deliberate community awareness, the Awaken Her Initiative envisions a Rwanda in which no woman dies as a result of cervical cancer ignorance.
Their distribution approach is a women-to-women awareness method in which well-trained cervical cancer survivors and medical doctors will assist in raising awareness about the benefits of voluntary cervical cancer screening. The Awaken Her Initiative is a well-designed methodology for reinforcing Rwanda's efforts to eradicate cervical cancer.
Four Rwandan doctors — Drs. Clarisse Iradukunda, Yvette Nkurunziza, Kambali Philbert, and Rwamatwara Alype founded the Awaken Her Initiative.
