At Basic Health International, cervical cancer prevention isn’t just a month-long focus—it’s at the heart of everything we do.

Through innovation, partnership, and community-centered solutions, we work to ensure that prevention, screening, and treatment reach those who need them most.

During Cervical Cancer Prevention Awareness Month, we honor the health workers, partners, advocates, and communities who make this work possible—and we stand firm in our belief that no one should die from a preventable disease.

Together, we can—and will—build a future free from cervical cancer.

A new year brings renewed commitment to the work ahead. At Basic Health International, we are entering the year focused on expanding access to cervical cancer prevention and care for women in underserved communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

With the continued partnership of our donors and supporters, we will strengthen local health systems, support frontline providers, and reach women in communities that are too often left out of care. The year ahead is one of progress, collaboration, and lasting impact.

Thank you for helping make this work possible. Wishing you a healthy and hopeful New Year. ✨

This Christmas season, we are deeply grateful for the donors and partners who make our work possible. For more than twenty years, your generosity has helped Basic Health International reduce the burden of cervical cancer in underserved communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Because of your support, women receive lifesaving screening and treatment, providers gain the training they need, and research reaches even the most remote regions. You help remove barriers to care by supporting transportation, lodging, and essential services that ensure no woman is left behind.

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in a future where every woman has access to quality health care. Wishing you peace, joy, and good health this Christmas season. 🎄✨

BHI teams travel to some of the most remote regions of Latin America, where roads are rough, clinics are far apart, and many women have never had access to reliable healthcare.

In these communities, distance can mean the difference between early detection and late stage cervical cancer, between treatment and being left unseen.

Reaching these areas takes more than medical expertise. It requires reliable vehicles, skilled drivers, and dedicated field staff willing to carry equipment into places with little or no infrastructure. These critical needs are often not covered by traditional grants, but they are essential to saving lives.

Your donation helps make this work possible. It supports transportation, logistics, and staff time that allow BHI to reach rural communities, provide life saving screening and care, and collect data that strengthens national prevention strategies.

When you support BHI, you help bridge the gap between isolation and lifesaving care.

Thank you for helping ensure no woman is left behind.
Happy Holidays from all of us at Basic Health International.

Right now, women across the world are facing a terrifying truth: they need cervical cancer screening and treatment, but there is no trained provider available to help them. Some will wait months. Many will wait years. Too many will run out of time.

This is a crisis we can stop, but only with your urgent support.

Your gift to Basic Health International (BHI) today will immediately strengthen local health systems by training the nurses and physicians who women depend on for lifesaving care. When you give, you are not only supporting a program, you are giving a woman the chance to be screened, treated, and protected before cancer can take hold.

With your urgent generosity, we can:
· Rapidly train frontline clinicians to deliver immediate, lifesaving services
· Equip ministries of health with the tools and technologies needed now
· Provide real-time mentorship so providers can confidently treat women without delay
· Ensure programs continue long after training so no woman is left waiting again

Every day we lose to inaction is another day women go without care.

Every gift you make today brings us closer to a world where no woman dies from a preventable disease.

Please act now. Your support has never been more critical or more impactful.

Thank you for standing with us when it matters most.

With urgency and gratitude,

Basic Health International
