In Nigeria, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like Project Pink Blue are actively advocating for government support to provide free cancer screenings. Project Pink Blue, based in Abuja, focuses on raising cancer awareness, offering free breast and cervical cancer screenings, patient navigation, and advocacy efforts. They have been instrumental in organizing events such as World Cancer Day and Pink October, which include activities like road walks, free cancer screenings, and symposiums to promote early detection and treatment.

Globally, organizations like TogetHER for Health emphasize the importance of eliminating cervical cancer through advocacy, partnerships, and knowledge-sharing. They highlight the need for equitable access to effective prevention and care, especially in low-resource settings.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation in the United States provides early detection screenings, including mammograms, breast health education, and a supportive community, underscoring the critical role of early detection in improving survival rates.

These initiatives underscore the vital role of government support in providing free cancer screenings, which can lead to early detection and significantly improve treatment outcomes.
