5 years of cancer prevention: How early detection is saving lives in Georgia

In Georgia, where access to healthcare has often been a challenge, hope is growing in the fight against cancer. Built and opened by Caritas Czech Republic in November 2019, the Cancer Screening Centre in Zugdidi has been making early detection and prevention more accessible to communities in western Georgia. Thanks to its efforts, more people can receive life-saving screenings, helping to detect cancer at an early stage. “In 2023 for example, not a single day passed without treating at least 10 patientsfor mammography alone,” says Irinia Pochkua, the clinical director of the centre.

Ensuring food safety is based on the “from farm to fork” principle, in which each chain, starting from the producer and ending with the consumer, has its share of responsibility.
