Millennium Fellowship Project: The Onco-Aware Initiative
Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in Nigeria, with over 12,000 new cases and 8,000 deaths recorded in 2020 alone. Despite recent government efforts, including the acquisition of 7.7 million doses of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and a new immunization protocol targeting girls aged 9-14, significant barriers remain. Misinformation, cultural stigma, and anti-vaccine sentiments undermine progress, putting millions of lives at risk.
This project seeks to address these challenges through a comprehensive approach to education, awareness, and access. Our goal is to empower communities, especially in underserved areas, with the knowledge and resources needed to prevent cervical cancer.
