The work of cervical cancer screening continues at Sister Aklesia Memorial Hospital in Adama, Ethiopia. Our friends have been busy establishing Sister Aklesia as the only privately held hospital in Ethiopia performing cervical cancer screening.
IPRH began the work of cervical cancer screening at Sister Aklesia in 2007. The project was made possible with the help of many donations of both medical equipment and financial support.
The International Partnership for Reproductive Health has always recognized the importance of research in furthering the understanding of how to save the lives of women by putting an end to cervical cancer. This year IPRH has worked with and provided important support for Eshetu Halle, molecular biologist at Addis Ababa University. Mr. Halle is a PhD student working with scientists from Belgium,and South Africa and will present their paper for publication at the HPV2017 International Conference in Capetown, South Africa.
The work we do is focused on saving lives, one woman at a time and requires the support, participation, and committment of individuals like you.
Thank you,
Sharon
