In Mali, the HPV vaccine, which is highly effective in preventing Cervical Cancer, is still unavailable. This is one example of the widespread inequality that exists in global health today. Even though Cervical Cancer is common in Mali and largely preventable through vaccination, women in Mali are largely unable to be vaccinated against the HPV virus.
In addition to continuing to advocate for the availability of the HPV vaccine, GAIA Vaccine Foundation provides free cervical cancer screenings at Hope Center Clinic. This means that women in Sikoro can be routinely screened for Cervical Cancer and thus increase chances of early detection. In April 2022, 261 women were screened for Cervical Cancer at Hope Center Clinic.
Please support the Cervical Cancer screening program today to help all women live long and healthy lives. Thank you for your support!
