  • Barriers to effective HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening in Africa

    Posted by Afredac Digital on 28 January 2025 at 17:15

    According to WHO, despite being preventable and treatable through human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and screening, and curable when detected early, cervical cancer remains the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the African region. Of the more than 76 000 cervical cancer deaths globally in 2022, the most updated data available, nearly a quarter (23%) were in Africa.

    What are the key barriers to effective HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening in Africa, and how can they be addressed practically?
