A silent woman-killer in Malawi
Cervical cancer kills over 2,300 women in Malawi every year, or two thirds of those who become infected with it, despite it being an easily preventable disease. This grim reality is the result of issues with vaccination and screening, as well as limitations in the offer of treatment. Since 2018, MSF has been working to fill the gap in Blantyre district, where the disease is particularly common. Project Update - 10 Jul 2020
