Overcoming barriers to cancer screening in resource-constrained settings: Care4Afrique: a pilot cervical cancer screening programme in three African countries

To mark World Cancer Day, researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in collaboration with the Lalla Salma Foundation for Cancer Prevention and Treatment (Morocco) are today launching a new report that provides solutions to overcome some of the common system-level barriers to implementation of cervical cancer screening, which are faced in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This new publication summarizes the outcomes of the Care4Afrique pilot project, which was initially implemented in Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal in close collaboration with the ministries of health of those countries.
