Digital intervention to improve retention in the cervical cancer care continuum

Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among South African women. Despite a comprehensive national cancer control policy, cervical screening coverage is low and attrition during onward referrals for diagnostic confirmation and treatment remains common. Cervical screening and onward linkage to care are especially important for HIV-infected women due to their high risk of HPV infection and rapid progression from precancer to invasive cervical cancer. Our team seeks to develop a Digital health intervention, to improve engagement of women with precancer in the cervical cancer care continuum.
