The recipient will also support MOHW to create a sustainability strategy for national scale-up of secondary cervical cancer prevention services and the development of the national cervical cancer control strategy and guidelines. At the community level, the recipient will help ensure awareness among the population of importance of biannual cervical cancer screening among WLHIV.
