posted on september 26, 2017   by anand jagatia

malawi, in sub-saharan africa, has the highest incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in the world. nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus, or hpv.

earlier this year, the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ funded one of our members, dr ramya bhatia, to travel to malawi as part of a research collaboration between nkhoma hospital and the university of edinburgh.

in this podcast, ramya talks to us about her time in malawi, and nkhoma’s highly successful cervical cancer screening programme.
