The burden
Challenging the Status Quo
According to the World Health Organization, Sub-Saharan Africa, accounts for 68% of global maternal mortality rates. In Nigeria, the lifetime risk of a woman dying during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum or post-abortion is 1 in 22, compared to a lifetime risk of 1 in 4900 in developed counties.
Among the myriad challenges confronting women's health — across different age groups in Africa are non-communicable diseases like breast and cervical cancer, heart disease, chronic obstructive airway disease,diabetes HIV/AIDS & tuberculosis...
Why we exist!
Innovative solutions for women's health
Gynix Afrika aims to improve the health and well-being of women in Africa by providing innovative solutions to their unique health challenges. Through our programs and partnerships, we empower women with knowledge, resources, and access to high-quality healthcare, and work towards a future where every African woman can live a healthy, fulfilled life.
At Gynix Afrika, we envision a future where African women are roundly and adequately health educated, such that they fully know and own their bodies and health, and are able to access quality healthcare promptly, while living their best lives in health.
Our Solutions
Our solutions are founded on three pillars
Health Education
The organization's foremost and grand pillar is health education. We believe achieving societal change starts with the transformation of individual minds that make up society. We use popular and widespread means, including radio programs, health education outreaches, and The Gynix Girls' Club, to teach health information to all women irrespective of class or age group.
Disease Prevention Through Health Screening
We are looking to drastically reduce the spate of deaths from preventable causes affecting our women. Through strategic campaigns like: mass screening and testing for HPV to prevent cervical cancer, breast cancer screening, NCDs screening, STIs screening, antenatal outreach, preconceptional care outreach. We refer as appropriate to health facilities for continued management and follow up.
Facilitating Access to Health Care
The third pillar, facilitating access to quality healthcare, aims to improve access to expert care through a women's health app, antenatal app, and a 24/7 toll-free helpline.
