What's Happening?

  • 1st-31st JANUARY 2026

    At Bongaka Health Care, we’re joining the global effort to raise awareness about cervical cancer — a largely preventable and highly treatable disease when detected early. January is the perfect time to learn, act, and protect your health.

    📌 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰?
    • Cervical cancer is almost always caused by persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV).

    • HPV vaccination and regular screening tests (such as Pap smears and HPV tests) are powerful tools to prevent cervical cancer.

    • Early detection saves lives — abnormal cell changes can be found before cancer develops.


    🩺 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡:
    ✔ Ask about HPV vaccination
    ✔ Book your cervical screening appointment
    ✔ Encourage the women in your life to get screened

    ✨ Let’s stand together:
    🔹 Support those living with HIV
    🔹 Promote education and testing
    🔹 Fight stigma with compassion and facts
    🔹 Advocate for equal access to healthcare

    Every voice matters. Every action counts.
