Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women living in low and middle income countries, where around 85% of cases occur globally.
ASPIRE is a women’s health initiative that uses innovative models and technologies to improve access to reproductive health in low income settings. Since 2007, ASPIRE has conducted various community-based cervical cancer screening initiatives in Uganda and Rwanda using self-collection based HPV testing.
The project takes an integrated health services approach to address cervical cancer and other reproductive health issues including sexually transmitted infections and HIV.
