The Rotary Foundation<\/a> awarded a $2 million grant of its third annual Programs of Scale to United to End Cervical Cancer in Egypt, an initiative to reduce the number of cases while raising awareness and improving women\u2019s access to preventive care.<\/p>\n

The four-year program in and around Cairo will vaccinate more than 30,000 girls ages 9-15, provide cancer screenings for 10,000 women, and launch a public awareness campaign to reach 4 million people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a cancer survivor, I am proud that we are supporting this project \u2014 and especially gratified that we are taking such an important step to support women\u2019s health,\u201d Rotary International President Jennifer Jones said. \u201cBy providing preventive care, we can empower women and girls with the knowledge and resources they need to stay healthy and thrive. This program is further proof that Rotary is capable of creating large-scale, meaningful projects that create lasting change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cervical cancer is considered one of the most preventable cancers. It\u2019s caused primarily by the human papillomavirus (HPV), the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract. Ninety percent of deaths from cervical cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries, where cancer screenings and routine HPV vaccinations aren\u2019t available and cultural misconceptions may deter women from seeking care.<\/p>\n

A 2021 report from the World Health Organization<\/a> showed that less than 10% of women in Egypt had cervical cancer screenings in the previous five years and, of those diagnosed with the disease, more than half die from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy increasing awareness and promoting preventive care for cervical cancer, we can save lives and create healthier communities in Egypt,\u201d said Amal El-Sisi, a professor of pediatrics at Cairo University and a member of the Rotary Club of El Tahrir. \u201cAs we gather data for the first time on the HPV and cervical cancer burden in the greater Cairo area, we are gaining crucial insights into the overall prevalence in Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to increasing awareness of cervical cancer and improving medical services for women, the program will make progress toward the goals set by WHO\u2019s Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative. This global effort aims to vaccinate 90% of girls, screen 70% of women, and treat 90% of women who have precancerous or cancerous cells. It aims to meet those targets by 2030.<\/p>\n

United to End Cervical Cancer in Egypt was initiated by the Rotary Club of El Tahrir, supported by Rotary clubs in and around Cairo and modeled after a presidential initiative on breast cancer that increased women\u2019s visits to clinics and now offers routine breast health services. It has assembled a coalition of partners that include the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population, the Egyptian Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, and the Sona3 El Khair Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
