Скачать или смотреть DevX - Shortcast on Cervical Cancer - with Dr Kalpana Apte, Director General of FPAIndia

Just think about it. We have ALL been exposed to at least one cancer death in our life time. We have ALL internally wondered why it happened to that person. If anything could have been done to prevent it. We all secretly wish it never happens to us or our loved ones. And for some reason there is such low awareness that this massively gender biased cancer has a simple and definitive solution!

I recently had my mind blown learning about Cervical Cancer. Cervical Cancer is the 2nd LEADING cause of cancer deaths in women. And. It is ~100% preventable by a simple vaccination. These two sentences are so paradoxical that they just should not co-exist! It is also very successfully and easily treatable for years after it presents. Yet… it kills more than 340k women annually (Globocan2020).

Einstein said that if you truly understand a subject, you should be able to explain it to an 8 year old. Watch this short interaction and see how Dr.Kalpana Apte, Director General of FPAI masterfully (and simply!) breaks down every aspect of this deadly and avoidable disease - Medical/clinical, Social, Policy, Program and most importantly the Human aspect… within 20 minutes! Watch to know how we can protect the women we love – as a family, a community and as a country.

P.S. This conversation was part of a brand-new format of DevX called the… ‘Shortcast’! One in which we speak to NGOs/Implementers/Agencies of the social impact sector. And one in which we unbox the fabulous work they do and the impact they strive to drive.
