🎯 Cervical cancer is vaccine-preventable. In South Africa, too many girls are missing their HPV shots. SACEMA’s models show that without better coverage, we won’t reach elimination targets. 📢 HPV vaccines work and #ImmunizationForAll is #HumanlyPossible. #CervicalCancer #HPV

Gestational diabetes affects up to 13% of pregnancies globally — and even more in SA. It can be silent and deadly. Most women never see it coming. Better screening = better outcomes. #WomensMonth #GDM #MaternalHealthMatters

⚠️ Preeclampsia can be silent—but deadly. It’s a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy that can damage the brain, liver, kidneys, and more. Signs? Headaches, swelling, vision changes. Early detection = lives saved. #WomensMonth #PreeclampsiaAwareness #maternalhealth
