Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The RCOG aims to improve women and girls’ lives through the delivery of respectful, high quality and accessible health care to women all over the world.
Your money will go to projects like the one currently running in Nigeria.
1/3 of total deaths caused by cervical cancer in 2017 occurred in Nigeria (HPV Information Centre Fact Sheet 2017). The burden of gynaecological disease in Sub Saharan Africa is considerable, yet it is rarely addressed despite having a significant impact on women’s wellbeing, economic productivity and quality of life.
That's why the RCOG is working with partners in Nigeria to increase access for women and girls to safe and respectful gynaecological care.
Often, women in low income settings will present late on with conditions such that are fatal. We want to ensure that when women do reach healthcare facilities, they have the best chance of a positive outcome.
The RCOG supports task shifting, and delivers training to nurses, midwives and medical officers. We are helping to build capacity among front line healthcare workers, to support women in the areas of family planning, prolapse, cervical cancer, STIs, HIV, gender based violence and more.
Anything you can give, big or small will help!
