Abstract
Spreading the health: international public health academic and community partnerships in Panama
Highlights
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women living in sub-Saharan Africa
Ethiopia has a high incidence of cervical cancer (35.9 per 100,000 women), with 7,095 women diagnosed annually and 4,732 dying every year from the disease
Younger respondents were significantly more likely than older providers to be aware that cervical cancer was a major health problem; to know the risk factors associated with it; and to know how it is treated
Summary
Ethiopia has a high incidence of cervical cancer (35.9 per 100,000 women), with 7,095 women diagnosed annually and 4,732 dying every year from the disease. Low provider awareness and poor understanding of appropriate prevention, treatment, and screening interventions pose challenges to addressing this problem. To gauge the extent of this information gap, the study explores variation in healthcare providers’ knowledge about HPV and cervical cancer at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, a tertiary public facility located in Ethiopia’s Amhara region. Global health (GH) competencies for residency programs are a growing interest in medical education worldwide. GH and its inclusion in resident’s training is an isolated subject to faculty directors of medical schools and for the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Mexico, facing healthcare challenges translated as a mismatched between academic institutions, MoH and vulnerable communities
