WINGS has provided 66,366 cervical cancer screenings since 2001. Despite COVID-19 restrictions, we provided 1,652 screenings throughout 2020 – only 41% of our original annual projections, but far more than we anticipated while all clinical services were suspended from March 16 through June 11.
WINGS offers cervical cancer screenings in all our clinics, either within our stationary clinics or our mobile unit clinics. We use visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) for immediate detection of cervical cell abnormalities and same-day treatment using cryotherapy for pre-cancerous cells that may lead to cervical cancer.
In 2021, we aim to provide 3,243 VIA screenings, knowing that many of those screenings will happen in the most rural, hard-to-reach areas of the country. Your support means that we are able to offer this service that we know saves lives. On behalf of our medical providers and the women we serve, thank you!
