  • Working with local communities and healthcare professionals, PINCC has improved cervical cancer care in Kenya for over 15 years. PINCC prioritizes building self-sufficient healthcare systems, ensuring women have consistent access to life-saving healthcare, and fighting cervical cancer.

    Over the past eight years (2017–2024), our work in Kenya has made a remarkable impact in the fight against cervical cancer. Some of the significant progress we’ve achieved includes:

    • Reduced Mortality: In Kenya, cervical cancer deaths have been reduced significantly over the past 8 years, saving more than 3,000 lives.

    • Improved Global Ranking: Kenya moved from 19th to 26th in world rankings for cervical cancer deaths, reflecting healthcare progress.

    • Effective Healthcare: Screenings, HPV vaccines, and treatments for cervical cancer appear to have improved access to this prevention method.

    • Continuing Need: Despite progress, Kenya's ranking indicates the need for continued education, screening programs, and improvements in healthcare.

  • In November 2023, PINCC launched a groundbreaking three-year program in Bolivia, revolutionizing cervical cancer prevention. Partnering with 5 U.S. Rotary Clubs and Bolivia's Rotary Club Ubari, the initiative introduces advanced HPV self-testing and thermal ablation treatment for HPV-positive women.

    The IRB is affiliated with Tours University in Vallejo, California, overseeing an ongoing study on the feasibility of HPV self-testing among women in Bolivia. By prioritizing early intervention and prevention, this program sets a powerful precedent in the fight against cervical cancer, offering hope and improved care for women in Bolivia.

    In 2024, PINCC:

    • Screened 1,106 women

    • Treated 186 women

    • Donated 12 theromocoagulation devices

    • 16.8% of the women screened by PINCC were treated for cervical dysplasia, ensuring that more women received lifesaving care.

  • PINCC’s recent trip to India marked an impactful expansion of our sustainable cervical cancer prevention model in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

    In Vijayawada, we partnered with the Pinnamaneni Siddhartha General Teaching Hospital to strengthen long-term capacity, certifying five faculty members in VIAA and thermocoagulation and leaving behind a thermocoagulation device to support ongoing training of future postgraduate physicians. In Guntur, we continued this momentum by certifying two additional physicians in VIAA and thermocoagulation at the Prabhuthva Samagra Vaidyashala Natco Cancer Centre. Our plan will be to return to this area in November and continue the training efforts for current and new clinical providers.

    Across both sites,

    • Over the two weeks in Vijayawada and Guntur, our team established screening clinics that reached 651 women, utilizing a combination of VIAA and HPV self-testing to identify those women at highest risk.

    • 62 women received same-day treatment with thermocoagulation, alongside

    • 7 LEEP procedures and 7 biopsies

  • This May, PINCC returned to Child Legacy International for our second cervical cancer screening and treatment clinic in Malawi, but this year marked a major step forward in sustainability and local leadership.

    In 2025 three local providers — Eustina, Juliana, and Silver — participated in our clinic and completed training in VIA screening and thermocoagulation treatment for cervical dysplasia. Over the past year, they have continued building their clinical skills and strengthening cervical cancer prevention efforts within their communities.

    In 2026, these clinicians returned to begin the next phase of PINCC’s Train the Trainer program. During this advanced training, they learned PINCC’s educational curriculum, hands-on teaching methods, and clinical training protocols designed to prepare them to become proficient trainers in cervical dysplasia screening and treatment.

    This past week, these three providers will took the lead as trainers themselves, using the curriculum they have just completed to educate and mentor new clinicians from across Malawi on how to screen and treat precancerous cervical lesions.

    This milestone represents the true goal of PINCC’s sustainable model: equipping local healthcare providers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to continue expanding cervical cancer prevention within their own communities.
