14,000 and 25,000; that’s the number of Nigerian women being diagnosed of breast and cervical cancers every year. Cervical Cancer kills a woman every hour. The Interesting part about all these is both cancers are 100% preventable with regular screenings and early treatments of suspected lumps and HPV infections.
We also found from research conducted that the reason many women never get screened is ;
1. Ignorance: They are simply not aware of the disease processes of these diseases or the screening and vaccination services available to them for prevention
2. Financial Constraints: Many women cannot afford the high cost of screening services in clinics/hospitals etc.
Here at WHPF, we think that these deaths are needless and a waste of human lives, hence the reason we started the free screening clinics across major cities in Nigeria to give women the opportunity to get screened and treat HPV infections early to prevent cervical cancer in the future.

Women of lower socioeconomic status are not able to afford these types of preventive services as they usually do not have any form of health insurance. A study conducted in Ibadan, a city in the south-western part of Nigeria in the year 2012 identified financial constraints as a factor affecting the utilisation of cervical screening services
As a result of these shortcomings, in low and middle income countries, the WHO recommends using a screen-and-treat approach where the decision to administer treatment lies on the result from a screening test and not waiting to confirm a high-grade infection from a histology first.
Our screen and treat program takes us to communities where high risk women reside with little to no access to basic healthcare services. We screen them for the presence of a HPV infection and treat immediately in order to prevent these deadly diseases.

Absent and painful periods are the most common complaints in adolescent gynecology. Other menstrual cycle related issues have also been found to affect the self-esteem of girls while growing up which in turn affects their studies. Some girls have to miss school for up to a week during their periods.
Our program teaches the girls self-breast examination so it becomes a healthy habit as they transient to adulthood. It also teaches them menstrual cycle tracking and nutrition for stress-free periods.
