In Bangladesh, FCF is working with local partner Friendship to better address cervical cancer in remote and vulnerable areas. In both the north and south of the country, where care is scarce and communities face flooding, female health workers from Friendship provide education and screening. These educators are instrumental in creating awareness about the risks of cervical cancer and the importance of prevention.
Thanks to Friendship's mobile hospital boats, women on the most remote islands can still access this care. Using an electronic app, women's data is securely stored and rapid follow-up and treatment is possible. The project continues to expand with mobile teams in the south that reach women in hard-to-reach areas even better. Training local health workers remains a priority so that they can competently and confidently conduct screenings and initiate treatment.
