Martha Wanjiru, Registered Palliative Care Nurse, Breast and Cervical Cancer Advocate, Kiambu County, Kenya, shared on LinkedIn:
”Today, we took breast and cervical cancer screening directly to the workplace-at a flower farm.
For many women, work, family responsibilities, distance, and other daily commitments can make it difficult to access preventive health services. That is why bringing screening closer to where people live and work matters.
Through our community outreach, we provided breast and cervical cancer screening, health education, and an opportunity for women to know their health status and seek timely care when needed.
Early detection can save lives.
Screening is not just a medical service-it is an investment in women, families, workplaces, and communities.
As healthcare providers, let us continue meeting people where they are and taking prevention beyond the walls of health facilities.
Keep showing up. Keep screening. Keep educating. Keep saving lives.”
