The Rotary Club of Blumenau-Norte developed this project to obtain resources for acquiring an ultrasound device to be primarily used for cervical and breast cancer detection exams for the Women's Cancer Combat Network of Blumenau. • The RFCC in Blumenau, with a long history of aiding in cancer prevention for women, does not have such equipment. As a result, necessary ultrasound exams are referred to the public network (SUS), which can take six months or more to be conducted. • With the acquisition of the ultrasound equipment, exams can be performed at the entity itself, which has the physical space and adequate personnel to do so, bringing much quicker treatment and reducing the mortality rate of this disease. • The equipment costs approximately $41,000 and will also be used to conduct exams for the
public network (SUS) when not in use by the RFCC in Blumenau, helping to alleviate the backlog

Need $23,000
This project needs to receive some pledges to go to the next level. Please check the "Financing" tab to see the list of current pledges. Once the amount pledged is equal to the project budget, the status of the project will be automatically changed to "Fully Pledged". Click here to pledge support for this project.
Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
