Early detection can save countless lives around the world.
Long-term studies have been conducted around the world that ultimately show the effectiveness of the VIA-based screening approach. In India, for example, cervical cancer mortality was reduced by 31% over a period of 15 years among women screened with VIA.
Further studies have indicated that VIA screening, in the presence of good training and sustained quality assurance, is an effective method that screens for cervical cancer in countries that have large low-to-medium income populations.
