2016
Zanzibar Breast Cancer Campaign
In 2016, Afya Care launched a Breast Cancer Screening Campaign in Zanzibar to enhance accessibility to early detection and provide life-saving education. The campaign hosted a free screening clinic offering clinical breast examinations, ultrasound services, and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC). Educational materials in Kiswahili, featuring pictorial self-examination guides printed on calendars, were distributed to all patients.
A total of 512 women were screened, with those requiring further surgical consultations referred to Mnazi Mmoja Hospital for specialist care. Through partnerships with the Ministry of Health Zanzibar (MoHZ) and Zanzibar Cancer Association (ZCA), we ensured continuity of care regardless of financial capacity.
2017
Mafia Health Screening Camp
From 12th to 15th October 2017, Afya Care organized a four-day health camp in Mafia, a region often limited in access to comprehensive healthcare. The camp focused on increasing awareness of non-communicable diseases and providing preventive screening services.
With the help of 30 volunteers, we screened for diabetes, hypertension, anemia, respiratory diseases, breast, cervical, and prostate cancers, dental hygiene, and eye conditions. Over 10,000 screenings were conducted for approximately 1,700 patients. The success of this camp was driven by the dedication of volunteers and sponsors, united by a single mission: giving back to the community of Mafia to improve lives and create hope.
