Abstract

KEY MESSAGES 


Rwanda has a high cervical cancer incidence rate of 28.2/100,000 women 


The screening rate is low, with only 18% coverage against the target of 70% 


Increasing the number of women screened for cervical cancer will have about 160,164 women with precancerous lesions treated and reduce the incidence of cancer cases.
