Many were apprehensive. After all, most of them had not had a vaccination since they were babies. It was 2013 and a new vaccine had arrived in Kanyirabanyana, a village in the Gakenke district of Rwanda. Reached by a reddened earth road, the village is surrounded by rolling hills and plantations growing crops from bananas to potatoes. Unlike the 10 vaccines already offered to young children as part of the country\u2019s immunisation programme, this vaccine was different: it was being offered to older girls, age 11\u201312, in the final year of primary school.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--text\">\n<p>Three years before, Rwanda had decided to make preventing cervical cancer a health priority. The government agreed a partnership with pharmaceutical company Merck to offer Rwandan girls the opportunity to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer.<\/p>\n<p>This was the first time an African country had embarked on a national prevention programme for cervical cancer. Could Rwanda become the first country in Africa to eliminate it?<\/p>\n<p>It was an ambitious goal. Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in Rwandan women, and there were considerable cultural barriers to the vaccination programme \u2013 HPV is a sexually transmitted infection and talking about sex is taboo in Rwanda. Added to this, rumours that the vaccine could cause infertility made some parents reluctant to allow their daughters to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>Rwanda\u2019s economy and history also made it seem an improbable candidate for achieving high HPV vaccination coverage. After the 1994 genocide, it was ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world. High-income countries had only achieved moderate coverage of the HPV vaccine; if the United States and France couldn\u2019t achieve high coverage, how could Rwanda?<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/human-papillomavirus-(hpv)-and-cervical-cancer\">WHO factsheet<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0HPV and cervial cancer, from January 2019<\/li>\n<li>The US\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/causes-prevention\/risk\/infectious-agents\/hpv-and-cancer?redirect=true%22%20%5Cl%20%22cancers-caused\">National Cancer Institute\u2019s information<\/a>\u00a0on HPV and cancer<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/immunization\/diseases\/hpv\/en\/\">WHO information on the HPV vaccine<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Center for Global Health and Development article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cghd.org\/index.php\/global-health-challenges\/non-communicable-diseases-ncds\/cancer\/24-rwanda-declares-war-on-cervical-cancer\">Rwanda declares war on cervical cancer<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Gavi&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gavi.org\/support\/nvs\/human-papillomavirus\/\">human papillomavirus vaccine support<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A recent article from\u00a0<em>Lancet Oncology<\/em>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/action\/showPdf?pii=S1470-2045%2818%2930836-2\">looking at the potential for eliminating cervical cancer in 181 countries<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a3)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/how-rwanda-could-be-the-first-country-to-wipe-out-cervical-cancer-zv0rf9fmb?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10639,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Create UML diagrams online.
