ABOUT

Mission & Values

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to the prevention and alleviation of pain and suffering caused by cancer. As a charitable organisation, we tirelessly work towards this goal through a multifaceted approach encompassing public education, promotion of early detection, prompt treatment, and the provision of compassionate patient care, support services, and sincere counselling.

OUR CORE OBJECTIVES:

Public Education

We are dedicated to disseminating accurate information about various cancers, with a particular focus on prevalent types such as breast and prostate cancer. We believe that knowledge is the key to dispelling fear, and it empowers individuals to make informed choices regarding their health.

Prevention and Early Detection

The Barbados Cancer Society firmly holds the belief that prevention is the most effective strategy against cancer. By equipping our community with the knowledge and tools for early detection, we strive to empower individuals to take proactive measures in mitigating the risks associated with this formidable disease.

WHY WE EMPHASISE KNOWLEDGE:

01.  Antidote to Fear:

We believe that accurate knowledge serves as an antidote to the fear often associated with cancer. Informed individuals are better equipped to manage the disease and navigate their health journey with confidence.

02.  Empowering Decision-Making:

Our experience has shown that when men and women are provided with accurate knowledge, they are more likely to use it to avoid the risks of cancer and inhibit its development. Prevention, as well as early detection, are powerful weapons in the fight against cancer, allowing for intervention without causing unnecessary harm to the patient.

TARGETED CANCER MANAGEMENT AND SCREENING: FOCUSED ON YOUR WELL-BEING

At The Barbados Cancer Society, our commitment to your health is reflected in our targeted approach to cancer management and screening. We specialise in multiple types of cancer management, including the following:

Breast Cancer:

Our dedicated Breast Screening Programme offers services such as mammography, breast examinations, and ultrasounds, empowering individuals with the tools for early detection and proactive care.

Colon Cancer:

We emphasise the importance of colon health through screenings that can identify potential issues early, promoting proactive measures for prevention and effective treatment.

Cervical Cancer:

Through cervical screening, including Pap Smear tests, we aim to detect abnormalities early on, providing the foundation for timely intervention and improved outcomes.

Prostate Cancer:

Our focus on men's health includes specialised screenings such as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) tests and Digital Rectal Examinations (DRE), enabling early detection and informed decision-making.
