Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO visited Her Health Hub alongside David Mead and many Support Squad team members. Her Health Hub located in Badili is an initiative of the Sir Brian Bell Foundation and CPL Foundation Inc. to enhance women’s health in Papua New Guinea. Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO took David Mead and some of the Support Squad team members to Her Health Hub today to take a tour of the facilities, chat with the team on-site and learn about the importance of testing and treatment to prevent cervical cancer in our communities. Her Health Hub has been operating since April 30th this year and in this time, we have seen several hundred women receive crucial testing some of whom have been referred for treatment. David Mead introduced himself to the Her Health Hub team and saw the GeneXpert machines in action. The team spoke of the challenges faced around stigma and shame to receive women’s health care in PNG and how important it is for men to be a part of the solution regarding awareness and support to ensure no women die of this preventable disease. Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright commented “cervical cancer remains a significant threat to the health and well-being of women across the country, opening Her Health Hub was a crucial first step in supporting women’s health care in PNG. It has been our goal to see women receiving much needed and affordable health care at Her Health Hub by providing timely results so women can access further treatment if required.” Thank you, David, and our SBBF Support Squad for embracing the importance of women’s health care. Through your support, we hope more women come forward to access essential health care.
