Kenya Cervical Cancer project. The overall aim of the project is to prevent cervical cancer through promotion of HPV vaccination for young girls, as well as screen and treat precancerous cervical lesions for women of reproductive age, resulting in a significant decline in the incidence and severity of cervical cancer for women in four counties in Kenya.
The beneficiaries of this project will be vulnerable women with low socio-economic status as well as 10-year-old-girls from four (4) counties in Kenya. These beneficiaries will be reached with one-to-one community education and awareness on HPV vaccination for cervical cancer prevention. In addition, women of reproductive age will be provided with access to free screening for cervical cancer. For those with more advanced diagnosis of cervical cancer, we will register them into the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) so they can access timely diagnostic and treatment support.
