We are THANKFUL for you as we enter the last part of 2021.
Your continued commitment to Basic Health International's work in El Salvador has helped many women access cervical cancer screening, HPV and cancer treatment information, and essential follow-up care. Because of you, over 15,000 women have received life-saving treatment and live full lives with their families.
El Salvador has reason to celebrate the continued success of screen, treat, and training programs that prove that this small nation is leading the way for other countries to follow. Last year, BHI programs in El Salvador celebrated the World Health Organization's launch of its plan to rid cervical cancer from the world. This is a complex task, but the more light we shine on examples of success, the more countries will seek to follow BHI's blueprint.
On November 17, 2021, we will mark the anniversary of this historic movement, celebrating the first time the world has committed to eliminate a cancer. Please enjoy the celebratory photos from last year's inaugural event. Let's continue working together in making cervical cancer elimination by 2030 a reality.
90/ 70/ 90
Vaccination: 90% of girls fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by the age of 15; Screening: 70% of women screened using a high-performance test by the age of 35, and again by the age of 45; Treatment: 90% of women with pre-cancer treated and 90% of women with invasive cancer managed.
