PAPI employees care for the health of Mircea Vodă locals

26.01.2012

Health is the most important thing in life. The RECL manager of Mircea Vodă (Brăila) knows that better than anyone. After recently going through a painful experience, Cornelia Presada is determined to take care of women in her community. Her first project for 2012 is to ensure free Babeş Papanicolau testing.

The RECL manager has already contacted the Renașterea Foundation, and its representatives promised to include Mircea Vodă on their 2012 agenda. More specifically, Presada wants the foundation’s specialists to come and organise awareness campaigns in the commune, letting women know about how to watch out for that relentless disease, cancer. At the same time, all local women will be able to take Babeş Papanicolau tests at the local dispensary. “IT’s my top priority for this year. I will let medics use PAPI for counselling and information, and tests will be carried out at our clinic. We already spoke to the doctor and she’s willing to help”, the RECL manager says.

“I wish no one should go through what I’ve faced”

“Women here don’t leave the commune; they don’t get tested as necessary. In summer, we’ve had a death from this disease. In the hospitals where I’ve been, I’ve seen some serious cases. I wish no one should go where I had to go. This is why I decided to get involved. I want all women in Mircea Voda to be informed, to know how to care for themselves, to take the necessary precautions”, the manager explains.

She took care of the community from her hospital bed

Even when facing health issues, Cornelia Presada kept her community in mind. That is actually when she decided on the initiative to help women in her community. Even if she could not directly be involved in certain activities, the strong support of a volunteer team helped her finish all undergoing projects.

Surprises for local women, on their birthday

March 8th will be a day when Mircea Voda women will enjoy many surprises already planned by the RECL manager. “It will be a special evening for the ladies. I’m not sure how it will look, because I didn’t put all my ideas to paper. We are sure to have competitions and a raffle. I also want to involve local businessmen even more”, the RECL manager promises.
