Cancer mortality is high in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), partly due to inadequate treatment access. We explored access and affordability of cancer regimens for the top 10 cancers utilizing examples from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda.Population, healthcare financing, minimum wage, incidence data were obtained WHO, World Bank, public sources, GLOBOCAN. National Essential Medicines List (NEML) alignment with 2019 WHO EML was assessed as a proportion. regimen pricing calculated using proprietary sources...
PURPOSE High-risk human papillomaviruses (hrHPV) are the primary cause of cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is expected to prevent cancers caused by HPV types included in vaccines and possibly cross-protection from other types. This study sought determine hrHPV type distribution women at a rural Zimbabwe hospital. METHODS We implemented cross-sectional Karanda Mission Hospital. Using Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid Cervicography technique, clinicians collected swabs...
