In May, a team from CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion visited Zambia’s Center for Infectious Disease Research’s (CIDRZ) Cervical
Cancer See and Treat program in Lusaka.
CDC has begun to work hand in hand with this
program, which is partially funded by CDC through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). CDC plans to further See and Treat’s impact through technical
and financial support to reduce the high incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer in Zambia. The article can be found in the 2007 Fourth Quarter Global Health E-brief.
