Let’s take care of the health of women from Marneuli

Campaign content

Women living in rural areas are facing health problems due to their hard work and difficult social environment. There is no doctor available for them at the local level, outpatient clinics are canceled in the villages. Language barrier, lack of transportation and high cost of services makes new barriers for women. Climate change and a number of diseases will affect their health even more. In the Public Defender's report, we read that "women with mental health problems are not included in the state screening program for early detection of diseases (except hepatitis C screening). In particular, the unavailability of studies provided by the state program for breast and cervical cancer screening is problematic." A budgetary initiative on taking care of women's reproductive health was repeatedly sent to Marneuli City Hall, but it was not taken into budget. Before the pandemic, ultrasound was performed for women in several villages of Marneuli municipality, which was a great benefit for them. The goal of the project and idea is to help women, provide them with information about reproductive health, make it affordable to take the mandatory test and raise awareness of the resources available to women. Also, make reproductive health of women a priority in the social program of the local municipality through the women involved in the program. This program will be implemented in Marneuli Municipality. Within the framework of this program, Pap tests and gynecological consultation will be provided for women living in rural areas. They will receive appropriate services at the State Screening Center in Tbilisi, and we will arrange their transportation. 90% of women living in rural areas in Marneuli have no information about Pap test and screening center. The Pap test is a simple and effective test that detects changes in the precancerous stage. As a result of choosing the right treatment tactics, these deviations can be completely eliminated. After the Pap test, they will know what is happening in their body, and in case of difficult and moderate constipation, they can start treatment immediately or follow the doctor's advice. This will help raise awareness of women's health care in the region and provide information to other women as well The program will have more than 1000 beneficiaries and will be implemented for 6 months.
