What do you need to conduct a self-sample HPV test to screen for cervical cancer? Dorcus, our Clinical Program Officer, is showing that all of the materials you need is a self-sample swab and a sample collection tube. Sample collection takes only a few minutes, and with our mobile laboratory, results come out in hours. Where we work, in rural Kenya, we bring screening to the household level to overcome geographic and financial barriers. Ask your doctor to see if you have the option to screen for cervical cancer using a self-sample HPV test in the privacy and comfort of your own home. #HomeBasedScreening #CervicalCancerPrevention #Humanpapillomavirus #HPVTesting #WomensHealth #HealthEquity #HealthcareAccess #CervicalCancer #CancerPrevention (fb)

This last week of April is World Immunization Week! 🌎💉 Did you know that Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes nearly 100% of all cervical cancers? HPV Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from infection with HPV and from the development of cervical cancer. 💪🏽 @who has declared that we can even ELIMINATE cervical cancer, if we can vaccinate 90% of girls against HPV, in addition to screening 70% of women and treating 90% of women with precancer. Join the fight to eliminate cervical cancer and get vaccinated! #WorldImmunizationWeek #VaccinesSaveLives #HPVTesting #WomensHealth #HealthEquity #HealthcareAccess #CervicalCancer #CancerPrevention (fb)
