Discover our International Cancer Prevention (ICP) Programme 💉 Cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable and, if caught at an early stage, it can be treated successfully. But due to limited access to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, cervical screening, and treatment, rates of cervical cancer are higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We want to bring about a world where everybody can lead longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer, which is why through the ICP programme, we’re helping to expand access to HPV vaccination for adolescent girls in Africa and Asia. Find out more about our new grants and how they'll help to reduce cervical cancer rates 👇 #CervicalCancer #Vaccination #HPV
Hi to everyone who knows me, I miss you all wherever you are, Adam
Fantastic initiative! We hope to submit for the next call.

1wHPV is as easy to detect as COVID in a molecular diagnostic laboratory. This test should be as accessible as COVID was to us all during the pandemic. HPV can be detected from a home taken vaginal swab now. With over 80% of women having HPV at some point in their lives this should not be no stigma attached to testing or having the virus. HPV surveillance and vaccination could see cervical cancer rates drop exponentially. Great to see Cancer Research UK helping out in Africa.
