About this organization
Mission
Wuqu' Kawoq | Maya Health Alliance is a non-governmental organization dedicated to improving the health of Mayan communities in rural Guatemala. We believe that everyone – no matter where they were born or what language they speak–should have the highest quality health care.
About
Women's Health: We define women's health in the broadest sense possible. In addition to high-quality cervical cancer screening and prenatal care, we also offer management of sexually transmitted infections, family planning services, and treatment of all cancers that commonly affect women. We know that women have diverse medical needs, so our program also includes the provision of robust primary care. We have developed specific expertise in the screening, diagnosis, referral, and treatment of cervical cancer, which is the leading cause of death in Guatemala. Our obstetrics initiatives focus on reduction of maternal mortality through high-quality prenatal care, midwife education, and using technology to make childbirth safe. The foundation of our women's health education program is Mayan language women's health classes that, when integrated with our nutrition initiatives, help women have healthier pregnancies, children, and lives. At the present time we serve over 2,000 women.
