More than 70,000 women in Africa lose their lives to cervical cancer each year. Almost all the countries with the highest rates of the disease are on the continent. But a cervical cancer diagnosis doesn’t need to be a death sentence. It’s caused by a virus which, if caught early can be treated. And there’s also a vaccine that can prevent girls getting the virus in the first place. So, why are women in Africa still dying of cervical cancer?
