Rural Women New Zealand Summit Policy Webinar Series:
Ovarian Cancer, Let’s Talk
RWNZ held another Policy Summit Series on Thursday, 5 March, our first for 2021- Ovarian Cancer, Let’s Talk. This webinar builds on the new policies our Members approved at the Annual General Meeting in November 2020.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths in women. Eight in ten women have symptoms when their cancer is early, four in five women will be misdiagnosed and one in four will wait over six months to get a correct diagnosis. We were joined by three amazing women from three incredible organisations, Tash Crosby, founder Talk Peach, Jane Ludemann, director Cure Our Ovarian Cancer, and; Pauline Blomfield, found, and director, K9 Detection NZ.
