Life Healthcare Partners With PinkDrive To Ensure Timely Cancer Screening For Women In Public Health System
Written by: Media Update Editor Save to Instapaper
PinkDrive says it will deploy its Mobile Women's Health Unit to provide mammograms to patients referred by the hospital.
This collaboration safeguards continuity of care for women in the public health system who might otherwise face delays in screening and diagnosis, says PinkDrive.
"Cancer doesn't wait, and neither should access to care," says Noelene Kotschan, CEO and Founder of PinkDrive NPC. "We are incredibly grateful to Life Healthcare for recognising the urgency and stepping up once again to help us fill a critical gap in services. Their funding ensures that women at Dr George Mukhari Hospital can continue to access timely and professional screening, giving them the best possible chance at early diagnosis and treatment."
The organisation says this intervention comes at an important time for the South African healthcare system, where backlogs and limited access to specialist diagnostic equipment often contribute to late-stage cancer diagnoses.
The continued partnership between PinkDrive, Life Healthcare and the Gauteng Department of Health is a powerful example of how public-private partnerships can directly benefit patients and strengthen the public health system, says PinkDrive.
"As a leading healthcare provider, we are committed to making a significant impact on cancer outcomes in South Africa," says Adam Pyle, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Life Healthcare. "Through our ongoing support of PinkDrive NPC and their mobile cancer screening services, we are ensuring that more South Africans, especially those in underserved communities, have access to early detection services, which contributes to improving patient outcomes."
Cancer remains a growing public health challenge in South Africa, with incidence and mortality rates on the rise. Mammograms are one of the most effective tools for early detection of breast cancer, which remains one of the leading cancers among women, adds the organisation.
PinkDrive concludes that the temporary deployment of PinkDrive's mobile services at Dr George Mukhari Hospital represents a critical safety net for patients while the hospital enhances its capacity.
