When retired doctor Kay Taylor went on a medical mission to Central America, she made a startling discovery: the deadliest cancer killer of women in the developing world is cervical cancer - a preventable disease - killing almost 300,000 women yearly. When found early, it is treatable. Detection is simple: a vinegar wash on the cervix that reveals precancerous cells that are treated in one visit. In 2005, Dr. Taylor founded Prevention International: No Cervical Cancer (PINCC) She and two volunteers packed medical equipment in suitcases and traveled to a poor clinic in Honduras to train health practitioners in this ‘see and treat’ technique. Now, six years later, PINCC-trained practitioners in Latin America, Africa, and India are saving countless lives one their own. |
