Cervical cancer prevention in Malawi | Sibylle Gerstl & Robin Nesbitt
Cervical cancer can be prevented with HPV vaccination and precancer
screening. Malawi is the country with the second highest cervical cancer
(CC) incidence and CC-related mortality worldwide. In 2018, the Ministry
of Health and MSF set up a comprehensive CC program in Blantyre
City and Chiradzulu District.
HPV vaccination and CC screening have shown promising coverage, yet
there is still a long way to go to reduce the burden of CC incidence and
mortality in Malawi.
