We are delighted to announce that CAPED Trust has recently become the visionary partner of the APAC Women’s Cancer Coalition, marking a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionise women’s cancer care across the vibrant Asia-Pacific region. Through this partnership, we are dedicated to advancing cancer control efforts and tailoring innovative solutions that will create a lasting impact. Collaboration lies at the core of CAPED’s approach. By joining forces with esteemed organisations and thought leaders, we strive to be pioneers in cutting-edge innovations, ensuring that women receive the highest quality of care available.

Our journey begins with a focused approach to cervical cancer. By conducting awareness campaigns and enhancing screening access, we empower women to take control of their own health. Our primary objectives revolve around prevention and early detection, recognising their critical roles in combating this disease. However, our commitment extends beyond cervical cancer.

At CAPED, By actively engaging communities, promoting awareness, and empowering individuals, we foster a culture where individuals become active participants in their own cancer care. CAPED passionately advocates for equal access to prevention, screening, and treatment services. Through driving policy reforms and collaborating with influential stakeholders, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and eliminating disparities that hinder women from receiving the care they deserve. CAPED’s participation in the APAC Women’s Cancer Coalition exemplifies our unwavering commitment to collaboration, prevention, community engagement, and policy advocacy. We invite you to join us in transforming women’s cancer care in the Asia-Pacific region. Together, we possess the power to make a difference. Join CAPED today and become an integral part of the movement that is reshaping women’s cancer care. Together, we are united under the hashtags #CAPED, #WomenCancerCare, and #AsiaPacificStrong.
