Developing a scalable, woman-centred model for cervical cancer screening in vulnerable women in India

宫颈癌是一种毁灭性但可预防的疾病，世界上每5例宫颈癌中就有1例发生在印度。我们将与印度两个邦(泰米尔纳德邦和米佐拉姆邦)的妇女、社区和卫生服务机构合作，设计一种对妇女友好的预防宫颈癌的方法。该项目汇集了国际和印度专家，通过使用一种更新、更有效的筛查方法来克服目前宫颈筛查的障碍，以接触到未得到充分服务的妇女并拯救生命。

Cervical cancer is a devastating but preventable disease and 1 in 5 cases of cervical cancer in the world occur in India. We will work with women, communities, and health services in two States of India (Tamil Nadu and Mizoram) to design a woman friendly approach to prevent cervical cancer. This project brings together international and Indian experts to overcome current barriers to cervical screening by using a newer, more effective way of screening to reach underserved women and save lives.
