Cervical Cancer Prevention and Training Centre

What we do

CERVICAL CANCER PREVENTION AND TRAINING.

The programme is made up of two modules each lasting two weeks.

Module 1: Basic Trainees will learn the rudiments of cervical screening, will be able to pass a speculum, know the administrative procedures that go with a screening set up and be able to perform Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA). Those who complete this module can, among other things, start cervical screening with HPV testing and VIA in their institutions.[They will need help with follow up of the screen positives]

Module 2: Advanced Trainees will get the opportunity to work with nurses at the centre and perform Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA) and basic diagnostic colposcopy (with the mobile colposcope). They will have a log book of cases seen. This can contribute to their final certification in basic colposcopy.They will also get the opportunity to learn ablative treatment - cryotherapy and thermal coagulation.

Expect more than your imagination

1. More staff for the centre As the centre grows and more work is being done.
2. Paperless system
We have gone paperless, to be able to capture and get access to our data electronically on the ground, even on outreaches in remote communities. This will enhance the care we give to our clients.
3. Vehicle for outreach services
We believe that the best cervical cancer screening strategy for Ghana is a decentralised system where there services are provided by health workers in the communities through the CHPS (Community-based Health Planning and Services). This may take some time to be realised.

In 2017, we demonstrated that cervical cancer prevention services (vaccination, screening with VIA, HPV testing with Genexpert and careHPV, follow up of screen positives with mobile colposcopy by trained nurses and treatment of cervical precancer by cryotherapy and thermal coagulation) can be brought to communities across Ghana, to the doorsteps of women, with outreach services.
