Mediatrix Supports Immunohistochemistry for Women in Calabar During the Calabar Go Pink Day 2023

Mediatrix Development Foundation joined Pink Africa Foundation and Global Partners over the weekend in Calabar to mark the annual Cancer Awareness Month which is celebrated every year. This year's celebration was officially flagged-off by the Wife of the Governor Cross River State, Her Excellency, Rev. Mrs Eyoanwan Bassey Otu on Wednesday, 18th of October 2023 with free HPV vaccination for 250 girls pupils/students between the ages of 9-14 years in selected schools in Calabar, Cross River State.  The vaccination exercise was supported by ACT Foundation.

The Mediatrix team leveraged on this year’s 5km-Go Pink Day Walk to share various Information, Education and Communication Materials on Cancer. The walk began at the Millennium Park through Mary Slessor and ended at Calabar Municipal Council premises where goodwill messages were received from partners while participants received free medical examination/screening of breast, prostate and cervical cancer.

Mediatrix Development Foundation will take the awareness to Central and Northern Cross River in the coming months and sustained through her school-based intervention to increase awareness on HPV before the national launch for vaccination coming in February 2024.
