Prevention First: Empowering Women to Take Charge of Their Health

Keynote

About this session

The most powerful moment in medicine is often the one before illness begins. Specialist surgeon Dr Chipo Marufu makes the case for prevention as empowerment — screening, self-awareness and early action — and shows how simple, well-communicated steps can change the trajectory of breast and cervical health for a whole community.

What you'll take away

  • Understand the evidence base for prevention and early detection
  • Learn how to communicate screening in ways women act on
  • Take home a prevention checklist to share in your own network
