VFHA walks alongside Vanuatu in raising awareness and battle on gynae cancers!

Join us as we walk in solidarity to raise awareness for breast cancer and celebrate the vital role men play in supporting loved ones, advocating for early detection, and standing up for health equity.

A Survivor’s Story – The Power of Early Detection

Almost all of us know someone who lost her battle to Breast Cancer or someone who survived. This is a story of a survivor, Rita Mclennan who is willing to share her story. She hopes to motivate all women out there to seek out information and take care of their reproductive health.

"One in eight women will have breast cancer. Do not keep it to yourself. Share it. Early detection saves lives and cost." Rita said

This October, we honour the strength and courage of survivors. Today, we share the story of a beloved family member whose journey reminds us why awareness and action matter.

Her breast cancer journey began with a discharge—no lump, no pain. Six months later, a lymph node appeared under her arm. Rita left her family in Vanuatu for treatement in Australia which lasted 1 year and 3 months. It was not easy. It was not funny. But she fought through it, supported by her family and friends.

Rita appeals to all “Every woman will experience theirs differently. Do not delay. Act quickly."

Thanks to regular checkups—every 3 months in 2023 and 2024, and now twice yearly in 2025—she is here to tell her story.

Rita reminds us that cancer does not discriminate, and now that we have access to mammograms and other diagnostic tools, checkups are not optional—they are essential.

This disease doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed. It impacts your children, your sisters, brothers, mum, dad, families and friends.

"Do not be selfish. Get checked."

Let’s stand together this PINKTOBER. Let’s talk about breast cancer. Let’s encourage early detection. Let’s save lives.

📣GEDSI Analysis Workshop

☑️This week IPPF SROP is conducting a workshop with the Vanuatu Family Health Association focused on Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Analysis. The workshop aims to examine the challenges and barriers present, as well as strategies for addressing these issues in the implementation of daily activities and clinical responsibilities.

💭"This workshop has been an eye-opener for VFHA to examine its programs, policies, projects and health services to find out if they are inclusive and equitable—especially for people who are often marginalized due to their gender, disability, and gender diversity." A statement from Kalowi Kaltabang, VFHA's Director of Programs and Operations.

✅The GEDSI analysis includes a baseline self-assessment that informs a GEDSI action plan which aims to reduce barriers and improve access to s*xual and reproductive health (SRH) services for ni-Vans in all their diversity

ℹ️The GEDSI analysis workshop is supported by Pacific Women Lead at SPC, along with the Australian and New Zealand Governments.
