World Cancer Day: Go Further continues to make an impact in sub-Saharan Africa
By: Hannah Johnson
Women living with HIV are up to six times more likely to develop cervical cancer, and roughly 110,000 women in sub-Saharan Africa are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually. Approximately 66% of those women will die from the disease, making it one of the deadliest cancers for women in the region.
The George W. Bush Institute’s Global Health Program Manager Hannah Johnson shares her experience traveling to Namibia for a Go Further partner visit and the incredible work being done in the country to end HIV/AIDS as a health threat by 2030.
