Project Lead’s message

Women-related cancers such as ovarian, breast and cervical cancers are the most common in Pakistan resulting in high numbers of female mortality and morbidity. These cancers are curable if diagnosed early and referred on time. Greenstar Social Marketing has served young girls and women in underserved communities for the last 30 years with their sexual and reproductive health (SRHR), family planning, post-abortion care (PAC) and self-care needs. Through the “Umeed-e-Nau” project Greenstar envisions reaching, educating and engaging women suffering from any of the symptoms and indications of ovarian, cervical and breast cancers for screening and advanced treatment and contributing its part to ensure women’s wellness in Pakistan.
