Our Story
Cervical cancer burden in Kenya
Kenya is currently ranked in the top 20 countries with the highest rates of cervical cancer in women of reproductive age. The country also has the highest number of cancer-related deaths across East Africa, with cervical cancer accounting for 3,250 deaths annually. As is the case in many low- and middle-income countries, most women are diagnosed in very advanced stages of the disease, when treatment options are limited, and it is very costly to treat. As a result, women in Kenya are 14 times more likely to die from cervical cancer than women in the United States.
In Kenya, cervical cancer Is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Kenya and the 2nd most common cancer among women. (GLOBOCAN, 2018). It Contributes 5,250 (12.9%) of the new cancer cases annually and 3,286 (11.84%) of all cancer deaths annually.
Every day, nine Kenyan women die from cervical cancer, these are our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, our colleagues and our friends. Yet, cervical cancer is both preventable and treatable when detected early.
