LUNG CANCER PREVENTION AND SCREENING


This month we are releasing SAWBO's animation about lung cancer screening. Early detection is crucial for treatment of lung cancer. This animation highlights the need for screening for lung cancer and how the screening is performed. If you think you might be at risk for lung cancer, talk with your healthcare provider. Lung cancer screening is quick, easy, and painless.

ANIMATIONS IN OUR VIDEO LIBRARY


We have over 500 different animations in our Video Library, with over 50 different topics, in more than 100 languages variants. Here are a few highlighted animations:

MALARIA PREVENTION IN PORTUGUESE (ACCENT FROM SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE)


Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to people through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. This video illustrates several important preventative measures to avoid being bitten by the malaria mosquito.

HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS IN GUJARATI (ACCENT FROM INDIA)


Washing hands is the best way to prevent the spread of germs and diseases. Washing hands is the first line of defense against the spread of many diseases, from the common cold or diarrhea to more serious illnesses such as meningitis, influenza or hepatitis as well as many other diseases.

MALARIA PREVENTION: BED NETS IN FRENCH (ACCENT FROM BENIN)


The malaria mosquito usually bites in the evening until sunrise. At home it is very important to protect yourself through the proper installation of mosquito nets around your beds or sleeping areas. Use of bed-nets every night, children and adults alike, helps to keep the malaria mosquito out!
