The role of CHPs in reaching vulnerable populations is crucial to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and addressing health inequities in both urban and rural areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the NCI-K, Cervical Cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Kenya, with an estimated 3,211 deaths annually. Globally, cervical cancer claims the lives of over 341,000 women every year, with 90% of those deaths occurring in low and lower-middle income countries like Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the availability of effective screening methods, efforts to combat the disease in vulnerable populations have been hindered by cultural stigmas, limited access to healthcare professionals, and infrastructural challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/02\/Dr.NyandigisiCEO-HealthStrat-Dr.-Wafula-CEO-Mama-Lucy-Kibaki-Hospital-ms.Caitlin-Asjes-BD-Senior-Global-Director-Public-Health-Dr.Irene-Muchoki-Chief-Officer-Medical-Services-for-Nairobi-County-a-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/02\/Dr.NyandigisiCEO-HealthStrat-Dr.-Wafula-CEO-Mama-Lucy-Kibaki-Hospital-ms.Caitlin-Asjes-BD-Senior-Global-Director-Public-Health-Dr.Irene-Muchoki-Chief-Officer-Medical-Services-for-Nairobi-County-a-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-766492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/02\/Dr.NyandigisiCEO-HealthStrat-Dr.-Wafula-CEO-Mama-Lucy-Kibaki-Hospital-ms.Caitlin-Asjes-BD-Senior-Global-Director-Public-Health-Dr.Irene-Muchoki-Chief-Officer-Medical-Services-for-Nairobi-County-a-2.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/news\/files\/2025\/02\/Dr.NyandigisiCEO-HealthStrat-Dr.-Wafula-CEO-Mama-Lucy-Kibaki-Hospital-ms.Caitlin-Asjes-BD-Senior-Global-Director-Public-Health-Dr.Irene-Muchoki-Chief-Officer-Medical-Services-for-Nairobi-County-a-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, only 17% of Kenyan women have ever undergone screening, leaving millions at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caitlin Asjes, BD Senior Global Director of Public Health noted that the initiative aims to significantly boost these numbers by providing women with the tools and confidence to take charge of their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis HPV self-screening mobilisation marks an important step in the ongoing efforts to reduce cervical cancer mortality rates and the cancer burden in Kenya and highlights the importance of partnerships between private sector innovators and government health bodies in tackling the country&#8217;s most pressing healthcare challenges,\u201d said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of this mobilisation hinges on the efforts of over 700 Community Health Promoters (CHPs), who have been trained to deliver key health services in their communities. These front-line health workers play an essential role in Kenya\u2019s National Cancer Control Strategy, which emphasises early detection, screening, and linking individuals to care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis project is possible thanks to key stakeholder collaboration. By working with Community Health Promoters, we continue to ensure that women can access the kits and crucial information to fight cervical cancer. Our mandate is to partner in executing the Ministry&#8217;s strategy, focusing on early detection and capacity building across the healthcare system,\u201d said Dr.Andrew Nyandigisi, the CEO of Healthstrat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The initiative seeks to raise awareness and improve access to cervical cancer screening for women in Nairobi, particularly in marginalised and underserved communities where the disease burden is highest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13892,"featured_media":766493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,4625],"tags":[15395,22674,4268,9207,491],"coauthors":[1687],"class_list":["post-766489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kenya","category-national-news","tag-cancer-battle","tag-cancer-screening","tag-cervical-cancer","tag-hpv-vaccine","tag-kenya"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nairobi County government to launch large-scale screening for cervical cancer. &#187;
