Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in India — despite being largely preventable and treatable when detected early.
𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬:
• India accounts for a significant share of the global cervical cancer burden
• Thousands of women lose their lives every year due to late diagnosis
• Screening coverage remains critically low in many regions
• Early screening and HPV vaccination can reduce risk by 60–70%
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞?
✔️ Increased awareness
✔️ Strengthened screening programmes
✔️ Better use of digital health systems for tracking, follow-up, and coverage
At HISP India, we believe digital public health solutions can play a crucial role in strengthening cancer screening, reporting, and continuity of care.
