HOW MOBILE HEALTH FOR MAMAS WORKS

Prevention. Care. Connection

A complete care pathway, right in your community.

educate

1. Educate

We facilitate community sensitization meetings with local village leaders to spread awareness about cervical cancer prevention.

  • Community meetings are held in trusted local settings.
  • Women and men learn how HPV testing and early treatment can prevent cervical cancer.
  • Education helps to reduce stigma and helps women seek care earlier.
train

2. Train

We train local community health workers, nurses, and lab technologists to serve as our frontline providers for education, testing, and treatment.

  • Training equips local providers with practical screening and counseling skills.
  • Community health workers support outreach, education, and follow-up.
  • Local leadership strengthens long-term program sustainability.
test

3. Test

Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is the World Health Organization’s gold standard for cervical cancer screening. Our trained community health workers bring self-sample HPV test kits directly to the homes of women in their community.

  • HPV self-sampling makes testing simple and accessible.
  • Results are shared by text message, helping women receive updates quickly.
  • Women with positive results are connected to care without delay.
treat

4. Treat

We offer HPV-positive women thermal ablation treatment to destroy precancerous cells and prevent the development of cervical cancer.

  • Eligible women can receive treatment before cancer develops.
  • Same-day or timely treatment reduces loss to follow-up.
  • Early intervention saves lives and protects future health.
link

5. Link

We enroll women with advanced disease in our patient navigation program to link them with referral hospitals and provide critical financial and psychosocial support.

  • Our patient navigator connects women to referral hospitals.
  • Women receive support through complex care pathways.
  • Financial and psychosocial support helps reduce barriers to treatment.
