Saving the World’s Women from Cervical Cancer

July 13, 2016

 

On June 30, 2016 the New England Journal of Medicine published an excellent article regarding screening women in low resource countries for cervical disease. Many of the issues addressed in this journal article are consistent with what Family Health Ministries has learned over the last 15 years in Haiti.
In 2015, we formed a new organization called “Haiti sans Cervical Cancer” which is bring the many different organizations in Haiti together to work on standards of care. It is the hope, that with direction from the Ministry of Health, a national cervical prevention program can expand services to more women in Haiti.
