Description
Kofi Effah, Patrick Akakpo, and a large team report a three-in-one screening scheme in Battor, Ghana, in work from twenty twenty-three. The scheme tests for cervical pre-cancer with three checks in a single visit: a DNA test for the HPV virus, a cell smear, and a trained look at the cervix. The point is to cut repeat trips, which lead many women to drop out of care.
Records cover four years of screening at one centre, from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty-three. The team tallied rates of high-risk HPV, odd smears, and cervix marks across all women screened. They argue the one-visit scheme fits places where travel is hard and follow-up often fails.
