“I’m Rosa, 55 years old, a homemaker from Cantón Hoyos, El Salvador. When my doctor diagnosed me with cancer, I had known something was wrong for a long time — but traveling far for treatment felt impossible. Basic Health International gave me the helping hand I never imagined finding. Today I am finally receiving treatment, and I am determined to heal.”
“When they told me I had cancer, I felt I had no hope and no reason to live. I went through 27 radiation sessions, chemotherapy, and brachytherapy — but Basic Health International was with me at every step, helping with transportation and care. Today I tell other women: don’t give up and don’t lose faith, because just as I overcame it, you will too.”
“I’m Santos Cristina, a single mother from Tecoluca, El Salvador. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I feared I would die and leave my children behind. Basic Health International guided me through every step and never let me feel alone. Today I’m working again, and I made sure my daughter got her HPV vaccine.”
