Sunday, May 25, 2014 was milestone day for CureCervicalCancer. Eleven CCC healthcare providers, including Dr. Gordon, Dr. Oregon UCLA GYN faculty, Dr. Oberman UCLA GYN faculty, Doris RN, Elsa RN, Rhia RN, Melanie, Cullen, Stephen, Cyrus, and Jackie, arrived in Hanoi and drove to Quang Ninh Province. We started the process of implementing the first program ever for screening and treatment of precervical cancer in this underserved region! Sex trafficking prevails in this area and HPV is rampant. Cervical cancer is an epidemic in this region and we are here to make a difference!
Today we began setting up the Angel Clinic at the Main Reproductive Center in the Quang Ninh province. This clinic was generously donated by the Morris Hazan Foundation and it will not only be the first of its kind but will save thousands of lives going into the future.
