For Women • By Women

Health for every woman, every step, every stage.

Alo Health is a nonprofit that delivers respectful, practical healthcare for women in underserved communities across Bangladesh.

About Alo Health

Our teams provide on-site screenings, teach self-breast exams, and, most importantly, help women navigate the health system from first test to treatment. This includes arranging appointments, organizing transport and temporary housing when needed, and covering diagnostic and early treatment costs for financially vulnerable patients.

Health worker preparing HPV vaccine dose

HPV vaccination access

Fibroid awareness & screening

Pilot mobile screening using symptom-driven clinics and referral pathways for ultrasound and affordable treatment — reducing delays that leave women suffering in silence.
