Women's Health Team launches new era in the Mazaruni.

Remote Area Medical has been providing cervical cancer screening and treatment in Guyana since 2003 and in the process has served thousands of women in remote indigenous villages. Together with the Ministry of Health, RAM has detected and treated dozens of cancer and pre-cancerous conditions providing major surgeries and even facilitating radiation therapy.

The Ministry last year adopted new cervical cancer screening and treatment protocols nationwide using VIA and cryotherapy. RAM is excited to be a part of this new initiative and has began educating clients in the Upper Mazaruni where teams have been working in every village since 2007. Pictured here is the team at Imbaimadai as they provide education and clinical services.

The team will fly out of this isolated district on March 18th after they complete the remainder of the expedition by boat.
