UCI calls for cervical cancer screening as awareness month begins
As Uganda commemorates Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in January, experts at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) urge the public, particularly those who are sexually active, to prioritise cervical cancer screening to prevent the disease. Currently, only 25-30% of women have had at least one screening during their lives. According to Dr Martin Origa, a gynecologist-oncologist at the Uganda Cancer Institute, cervical cancer has no early warning signs, so screening is critical. On Health Focus, Nobert Atukunda speaks with experts and provides information about cervical cancer.
