Date: 12/25
Region: Latin America & Caribbean
Country: Zimbabwe
Topic: Health, Gender Equality & Inclusion
Policy Lens: Global Health Security
Additional Context: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Zimbabwe, even though it is preventable. Many women and girls—especially in rural areas—cannot afford or do not have access to diagnosis and treatment, which makes outreach, screening, and prevention activities vital.
