Cervical Cancer Prevention during COVID-19 Pandemic; The CRS EPIC3-90 Project, Zambia

The Epidemic Control 90-90-90 (EpiC 3-90) Project is a U.S Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) funded project that supports the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Zambia to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets in faith-based and Government facilities. The project also supports prevention activities including cervical cancer (CaCx) screening in Women Living with HIV (WLHIV). CaCx remains the most frequent cancer in Zambia accounting for about 25% of all new cancer cases annually. It is also the most common cause of cancer related death in the country. EpiC 3-90 carried out technical support to the 15 supported districts from April 2020 to September 2020 to improve the CaCx screening in WLHIV.
