Award Winning Author, Entrepreneur and Adventurer Headed to San Pablo
City, Philippines for Medical Mission
Charles Irion as a Director of The 3000 Club will be
Assisting Doctors and Nurses during a Cervical Cancer Treatment and Education
Mission
Charles Irion along with
volunteers from The 3000 Club Phoenix, Arizona supported by The 3000 Club
Philippines with local town doctors and surgeons will perform checkups for 450
women with particular focus on cervical cancer awareness and prevention through
pap smear. Those found with cervical
pre-lesions can be treated with cryo therapy.
Those found with lesions will be referred to tertiary hospitals for
further treatment/surgery. The club will
also be performing minor surgeries if necessary, as well as providing one extra
nutritious meal during the duration of the mission for mothers, pregnant women
and children ten and below.
Cervical cancer is the
fifth most common cancer for women and about every two minutes, a woman will
die of cervical cancer somewhere around the world. In the Philippines, it is estimated that 12
Filipino women die of cervical cancer every day, while around five out of 10
women suffering from cervical cancer may die within five years. In a year, around 6,000 cases and 4,349
deaths due to cervical cancer are documented.
It’s Charles Irion and The
3000 Club’s hope this mission will help decrease the number of women dying of
cervical cancer and help improve the health and well being of indigent women and
children by bringing to them health services and education which otherwise they
would be able to obtain.
