By Julia Nemy | GAIA Vaccine Foundation Project Manager
GAIA Vaccine Foundation is committed to fighting cervical cancer in Mali by providing free cervical cancer screenings.
A recent article from the BBC describes how 9 out of 10 cervical cancer deaths occur in low-middle income countries where access to screenings are rare. Over 300,000 women die every year from cervical cancer, which is the fourth most common cancer among women.
The HPV vaccine is considered to be 90% effective in preventing cervical cancer, however the vaccine remains unavailable in many of these countries, including Mali.
GAIA VF continues to advocate for the need for the HPV vaccine in Mali. Please support GAIA VF today to allow Hope Center Clinic to continue offering cervical cancer screening which are truly life saving.
