We developed a practical model of care for cancer screening and prevention for uninsured and underprivileged women in Georgia with the grants of NAFC. The model demonstrates how to educate and sensitize local communities and attract, recruit, and assist them with screening services for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and other women’s healthcare needs. The presentation will focus on essential areas of program strategies and development, resource mobilization and partnerships, and program delivery and management. This session is dedicated to the health and well-being of women, a testament to our commitment to their care and empowerment.
In particular, the presenters will present the following:
- Developing a strategic framework to create learning opportunities for communities
- Engaging, training, and empowering volunteers to create a women-friendly environment in the clinic
- Ensuring quality of care while allowing flexibility in the program
- Partnerships development and resource mobilization
- Lessons learned, program sustainability, and challenges
The project has been making a significant impact on the community and partners. However, future challenges lie in its sustainability after the grant period. The presenters will also discuss the sustainability strategies and challenges.
