Cervical Cancer Screening: Uganda

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for women in 40 sub-Saharan African countries including Uganda. Due to lack of adequate resources for women to access quality pap smears, burden of cervical cancer has increased steadily due to biological and social factors.

Cervical cancer is preventable by vaccinating young girls (10-15) who have not had any kind of sexual intercourse and early diagnosis to ensure precancerous cells are detected early and lives can be saved. Together, let's support women and girls to beat cervical cancer!
