Throwback to the day I was assigned to take care of the 13 abducted girls that were rescued in Lusaka, with my colleague, Dr Prince Kanyinda, a few years ago. What followed was more than a year of follow up, collaboration with all relevant ministries led by cabinet, to ensure all rounded care for the girls.
On my part, it also involved putting up a multidisciplinary team of other health and medicolegal experts to ensure meticulous collection and preservation of evidence from the onset as this was a medicolegal case of high national interest.
This was one of the most challenging cases I have ever handled in my career as a gynecologist.

2 years ago, together with amazing female medical doctors and dental surgeons from the Medical Women’s Association of Zambia , which I am currently leading as President, we participated fully in the cholera response from the national level participating in the response strategy, resource mobilization; to the frontline in the health facilities and cholera centres, to the community raising awareness and on the cholera centres assisting patients and bedsiders with necessary nutrition, clothing and hygiene supplies such as baby diapers.

There is another outbreak of cholera in Zambia currently.

Let us take precautions by adhering to strict hygiene practices.

When you go for cancer screening, a number of outcomes are possible.

📍A growth may be seen that was unknown to you which can be sampled and examined further.
The results of that may either be positive for cancer, precancerous cervical changes or just show inflammatory changes from infection and bruising.

📍There may be no obvious growth so a VIA or pap smear can be done.

📍With VIA, some liquid is applied and results may be positive immediately for certain cervical changes.

🎯 This does not mean that you have cervical cancer!
If the cervical changes involve a small part of the cervix, you can be reassured to come back for screening at a scheduled time. If the part showing some positive results is large, you may receive treatment immediately which involves having the affected part removed (LEEP) and taken for further tests; or frozen (cryotherapy) 🎯

📍Microscopic (histopathologic) examination of tissue obtained from treatment above may confirm whether the whole affected part was removed. If not, treatment is repeated.

📍If it still persists after several attemps, more investigations or a bigger surgery may be suggested depending on your age and circumstances.

📍The other possible results from the tissue may be a positive result for cervical cancer which may need bigger surgery from the onset depending on a fresh evaluation for the stage, sometimes it may have progressed beyond surgery.

📍The other screening method is pap smear which may show if there are abnormal cervical cells and can confirm presence or absence of cancer cells.

📍If pap smear results are unclear, you may want to do HPV testing which can show if you are infected, particularly with the types that predisposes to cancer.

📍 Alternatively, you can do both pap smear and HPV testing at the same time

All the screening modalities are currently available in Zambia.

Good morning and happy New week 😊❤️
