With great honor on this day the second of May 2014 the CureCervicalCancer team warmly congratulated the five Langata women’s clinic nurses on their graduation. After four days of closely guided teaching we were proud to bestow certificates of completion for our rigorous “See and Treat” training program. Together, the CCC team and the eager and talented local healthcare professionals screened nearly 200 women from the Langata and Kibera areas. With a positivity rate of 15% which equals 30 cryotherapies and roughly 30 lives saved, we can estimate the impact of CCC’s Langata clinic. If we assume the clinic screens at only 25% of this capacity after we leave, we can extrapolate 360 lives saved per year. That’s one life per day!
