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)

The 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.
