Orange Liberia, under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) department, launched its sponsorship of local Liberian NGO Public Health Initiative Liberia (PHIL) in their efforts to prevent, detect, and treat very early stages of cervical cancer in Liberia. This initiative, which is in closed collaboration with the Liberian Cancer Society, has the objective to screen for free 7,000 Liberian women for cervical cancer in 4 counties – Montserrado, Nimba, Grand Bassa and Margibi Counties -over the following year. PHIL began cervical cancer screenings in 2017 and has already screened 2845 women since its inception. Ms. Kilikpo expressed her gratitude to Orange Liberia and the Liberian Cancer Society for empowering her and her team of Liberians to expand their mobile cervical screenings outreach. In addition, with the belief that education about cancer is very important to the health of Liberians, Orange Liberia has also committed to the Liberian Cancer Society to communicate about cancer awareness.
