Kinshasa, March 5th, 2026 (CPA) – A low-cost gynaecological screening campaign for women is being organised from March 2nd to 30th at the Centre Medical Diamant (CMD) in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), according to a statement from the healthcare facility received on Thursday by CPA. “The CMD is organising from March 2nd to 30th a low-cost campaign for women’s gynaecological check-ups as part of Women’s Month. Between work, family and responsibilities, women sometimes forget about themselves. March is the time to get back on track with a preventive check-up, » it is read.
According to the source, this campaign offers a gynaecological consultation, a urine sediment and dipstick test, a complete blood count, a gynaecological ultrasound scan and a mammogram (if prescribed by the gynaecologist). This campaign is organised during March, which is dedicated to raising awareness and preventing gynaecological diseases.
A gynaecological check-up is an annual preventive examination recommended for all women, including a breast exam, pelvic exam (vaginal touching, speculum), and often a smear test to screen for cancer and infections. It allows for an assessment of the health of the reproductive system, the detection of early abnormalities, and the taking of samples if necessary, according to the source.
