Cervical cancer poses a significant public health concern in Kenya. The disease is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in the nation.
Each year, thousands of women in Kenya are diagnosed with cervical cancer. A substantial number of these cases are identified at advanced stages. The resulting high mortality rate highlights deficiencies in early detection and treatment processes.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer, and this virus is prevalent throughout the country. Despite this, HPV vaccination coverage and routine screening practices remain low in numerous regions.
Current public health strategies are centered on broadening the reach of HPV vaccination and screening programs. The goal of these efforts is to decrease both the incidence of new cases and the number of deaths associated with cervical cancer.
