Taking Action, Saving Our Women: Reducing Cervical Cancer Incidence in Rwanda by Increased Screening and Treating
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.
