Martha Wanjiru, Nurse Educator and ToT in Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening and Treatment of Precancerous Lesions Screening, Cervical Advocate and Champion Kiambu County, Kenya, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today, on International Women’s Day, I celebrate a meaningful milestone in my journey of advocacy, prevention, and service to women.
I am honored to have received a Certificate in Strategic Media Engagement for Communication, organized by KILELE Health Association in collaboration with African Cervical Health Alliance (ACHA).
This training strengthened my capacity to use traditional and digital media, storytelling, and strategic communication to advance advocacy toward cervical cancer elimination.
As a nurse working in breast and cervical cancer screening and the treatment of precancerous lesions, I believe communication is a powerful tool in saving lives. When communities are well informed, more women come forward for screening, early detection improves, and timely treatment becomes possible.
Every day in my work, I witness the impact of dual screening for breast and cervical cancer, ensuring women are screened, precancerous lesions are treated early, and those requiring further care are linked to the right services.
On this special day, I reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that every woman has access to information, screening, early treatment, and hope.
Thank you KILELE Health and ACHA for strengthening the voices of health workers in the fight against cancer.”
