Cervical Cancer Screening
Malawi has the world’s highest mortality rate from cervical cancer with a median survival time from diagnosis of 10 months and a 5-year survival rate of 2.9%.
We can do something about this with your help. Using a simple, cost-effective VIA test (Visual Inspection with Acetic acid) we can detect the lesions that will develop into cancers and treat them with cryotherapy.
The great advantage of the field-based methodology of our programme is that the treatment, with the patients consent can begin at once. Our two nurses will perform the test and the treatment.
The cost for the VIA test and cryotherapy treatment is £22 – a small price to avoid suffering and death.
