MSF AUSTRALIA | MALAWI 2022

The mortality rates for cervical cancer in Malawi are among the highest in the world. In Blantyre, in collaboration with Malawian health authorities, an MSF project offered comprehensive care for women with cervical cancer with the aim to improve access to prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment. We provided treatment for patients at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, and operated screening units integrated in health centres in several districts of the Southern Region. As radiotherapy is not available in Malawi, MSF also referred some patients to Nairobi, Kenya, for treatment.
