Cost-effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in Tunisia: a modelling study
This study showed that compared with screening alone, the implementation of HPV vaccination in addition to the current cytology screening programme in Tunisia would be considered cost-effective on the basis of the threshold GDP per capita. Improvement of the current screening programme itself also remains important and provides further potential to achieve optimal cervical cancer prevention strategies.
