Item A Facility-Based Survey Of Cervical Cancer Prevention And Control Programs In Sub-Saharan Africa By Serra Lem Asangbeh, Graduate School For Cellular And Biomedical Sciences (Gcb) University Of Bern And Swiss Tropical And Public Health Institute (Swiss Tph)(2023-07-05) Asangbeh-Kerman, Serra LemThe preliminary results from a facility-based survey of cervical cancer prevention and control programs in Sub-Saharan Africa are presented. Main findings: HPV vaccination is available in less than half of the participating sites; funding support for cervical screening is rare; diagnostic and treatment services are mostly centralized (women often referred for these services off-site); cost is a barrier to diagnosis and treatment in most sites; data collection systems are available for HIV but rare for CC prevention; and across the cascade, data availability greatly reduces from screening to follow-up of treated women and women initially screened negative.
