The Founder's Story

Elizabeth Korasare is a patient advocate who has undergone two surgeries to remove uterine fibroid. The first occurred at age 31 when she was carrying her first baby. A scan result indicated that she had multiple Uterine Fibroid which according to her doctor, would interfere with the development of her baby and therefore had to be removed together with the baby.

She was able to carry her baby to full term after she consulted another doctor who provided her with care and treatment until she delivered through cesarean section and the tumor was removed as well.

What We Do

Awareness Creation

To heighten the conversation on UF through various channels, share stories from patients and strive for increased public and stakeholder awareness explicitly on the difficulty of women living with fibroid.

Galvanizing support to improve diagnosis, management, treatment and care of women with fibroids.

Research

To promote, develop and support emerging and existing research on Uterine Fibroids through a partnership with the medical community, the public and private sectors and academia.

We aim at contributing to the discourse on UF by providing vital scientific findings to our clients, useful in the management, treatment and care of fibroid and, to drive policy advocacy.

Policy

Bleeding needlessly affects productivity, quality of life and economic wellbeing coupled with emotional health consequences that negatively impact the development

of the country. We seek to push for policies aimed at improving the reproductive health rights and health-seeking behaviour of women living with Uterine Fibroid.
