Exploratory study of a long-term hospital-based cervical cancer screening program in a high HIV prevalence area of rural Malawi
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients screened for cervical cancer annually increased over the study period. HIV prevalence in this study was much higher than the national prevalence. These results emphasize the successful collaboration between a national program, private hospital, and HIV treatment centers, and highlight the need to increase screening among healthy women in the community.
