Feasibility of the WHO strategy to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem, lessons learned from the PRESCRIP-TEC project

Case study

29 May 2024

Background Cervical cancer remains a global health challenge. With estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths worldwide in 2020, cervical cancer is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of death from cancer among women. Most cases and deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Infection with high-risk HPV (hrHPV) types is the main risk f...

Strengthening collaborative efforts for improved NCD Interventions in Indonesia

The increasing rate of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia requires targeted and specific primary and secondary prevention. Nearly one-third of adults in Indonesia have hypertension, yet less than 30% are aware of their hypertension status, and only 47% of people with diabetes are aware of their diabetes status. Therefore, screening for hypertension and diabetes is important to address t...
