UICC – Join us for a Virtual Dialogue on cervical cancer
Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu shared a post by UICC, on X:
“The incidence of cervical cancer continues to increase, with the global south bearing 80% of the mortality. This can change with partnerships and collaboration. Jhpiego and Union for International Cancer Control have been on this journey and I look foward to the upcoming webinar on the 13th of June, 4pm CEST (3pm WAT) After our panel last WCLS, I caught up again with Somesh Kumar, Jhpiego Snr Director at this years Global Health Catalysts Summit where he shared their work in this regard as well as the economic benefits of integrating breast and cervical screening into existing family planning and HIV clinics. Nigeria (including Sir Yahaya Hospital Kebbi), is one of the beneficiary countries. ”
Quoting UICC‘s post:
“Join us for a Virtual Dialogue on cervical cancer.
In partnership with Jhpiego we’ll be showcasing country examples of scaling up access to services, and exploring sustainability – with insights on financing, market access and procurement. ”
