CureCervicalCancer

CureCervicalCancer is a non-profit organization dedicated to the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer in resource-poor regions globally. Founded by Dr. Patricia Gordon, the organization utilizes a "See & Treat" model that combines visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and immediate treatment of pre-cancerous lesions using cryotherapy or thermal ablation. The organization has established over 100 sustainable clinics across 10 countries, including Kenya, Ethiopia, and Guatemala, and has screened over 200,000 women. Their "Clinic in a Suitcase" and patent-pending "Bouquet Speculum" are key technological innovations that enable portable, low-cost screening and treatment in remote areas. The organization focuses on sustainability by training local healthcare professionals and partnering with local governments to integrate cervical cancer screening into existing health systems.
