In October 2025, the Monkey Mountain Health Post in rural Guyana received its first ultrasound probe. Paired with the GALE telemedicine platform, the local healthcare team gained real-time access to specialist guidance.

During a routine antenatal visit, a 21-year-old patient at 15 weeks’ gestation was evaluated with support from an obstetrics and gynecology specialist via a telemedicine consultation. The examination revealed Placenta Previa, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Thanks to early detection and timely specialist input, the patient received crucial guidance and a care plan without traveling hundreds of miles to a distant hospital.

This case highlights how telemedicine + local diagnostics:
• Strengthen maternal health services in remote areas
• Reduce travel and associated costs for patients
• Enable early intervention and safer pregnancies
• Transform and touch lives by expanding access to critical care

We’re proud to see GALE's advanced telemedicine directly improving maternal and child health in communities like Monkey Mountain.

💗 Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Cecilia’s Story

In rural Oaxaca, Mexico, Cecilia began experiencing sudden chest pain, but specialist care was hours away.

Thanks to her community’s GALE eClinic, she was quickly connected with remote doctors and diagnostic specialists. Her tests quickly confirmed breast cancer, and treatment began just 15 days after her first telemedicine visit.

Today, Cecilia is a survivor — and her story shows how GALE brings life-saving connections to remote communities, helping women detect illness earlier, avoid delayed checkups, and access the care they deserve. 💪

🎗️ This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we honor stories like Cecilia’s — reminders that access and awareness save lives.

🧡 Su***de is preventable—and awareness, compassion, and access to care can save lives.

At 19Labs, we know that conversations around mental health are especially vital in rural and underserved regions, where stigma and limited access to resources too often leave people without the support they need.

Through our work with partners like the Ministry of Health in Guyana, the GALE eClinics platform has enabled open discussions with community health workers and residents in some of the most remote areas—helping people recognize warning signs, reduce stigma, and connect to care.

This month, we join the global call to stand Together in Strength, Dignity, Hope, and Purpose. 💙

✨ Remember:

• Knowing the warning signs of su***de saves lives.
• Healing is possible with the right support.
• Every conversation matters.
