Welcome to Caribbean Prevention Center
The Caribbean Prevention Center is at the forefront of screening in the Caribbean. We aim to be the beacon for prevention through screening, early diagnosis & early detection of disease in Curaçao. We also conduct scientific research that gives us valuable insight into behaviors, quality and other aspects relating to prevention in Curaçao. A screening is a medical examination for early detection of a disease, before symptoms occur. We currently offer screening programs for cervical cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. Screening saves lives and offers an effective way to take preventive steps for your health. We are currently working on several other preventable diseases, such as diabetes, glaucoma and more. We hope to get funding for these soon.

Our Screening Programs
Which Screening Test is for you?

In Curaçao, 1 in every 7 women is diagnosed with breast cancer. Survival rates depend largely on the stage of the tumor. Catching it early, when it is small is key. In those stages the patient has no symptoms yet. A mammogram is the most effective way we have of detecting breast cancer before it becomes deadly.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. This screening is used to test women for the risk of having cervical cancer. In Curaçao, Cervical cancer occurs most frequently in women between 25 and 65 years of age. That is why we invite these women for this screening.

We just need a sample of your poo to rule out colon cancer. Blood in your poo could be an indication of polyps or cancer. You do a poo test, called FIT-test, at home and bring it to us or to ADC or MLS. We will inform you within ten working days whether further testing is needed.
