This International Women’s Day, Put Your Health First
At Medinet, we see firsthand how easily women’s health can be neglected. Whether it’s delaying check-ups, pushing through pain, or dismissing symptoms - it’s time for a change.
Don’t put off the check-ups that could save your life:
- Cervical screening detects abnormal cells before they turn into cancer - yet nearly 1 in 3 people skip their smear test
- Breast screening boosts survival rates to over 90%, but too many put it off
- Pain, bloating, or irregular periods? These could signal fibroids, endometriosis, or even ovarian cancer - don’t ignore them!
This International Women’s Day, take action for your health:
📅 Schedule your check-up - smear test, mammogram, or GP visit.
🗣️ Listen to your body - if something feels wrong, speak out.
🔍 Know your health risks - family history, lifestyle, and age all play a role.
