The mission of Calla Health Foundation is to create point of care innovations that are designed to sustainably improve access to care in settings where women suffer from structural and social barriers. Calla Health’s innovations transform the traditional model of “physicians and hospitals” to one that empowers “midwives and community peers” to fill critical gaps in cervical cancer prevention. We create technologies for self-screening, diagnostic imaging and ablation for patient management across the continuum of care.

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death for women worldwide; 85% of deaths occur in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), despite the fact that well-established interventions exist for pre-invasive disease. Many low-resource countries lack the health care infrastructure required for the cytology-based screening and referral colposcopic diagnosis that have dramatically reduced the disease burden in wealthier countries.
