Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards, Mary Muthoni, today led the commemoration of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, emphasizing the shift from curative care to prevention and health promotion. She highlighted the role of Community Health Promoters in expanding access to essential cancer services at the grassroots level. Speaking in Nyandarua County, PS Muthoni announced the development of the National Cervical Cancer Elimination Action Plan in collaboration with ThinkWell. This initiative will outline a costed action plan, an investment case, and an advocacy framework to accelerate Kenya’s goal of eliminating cervical cancer by 2030. She also noted Kenya’s participation in the WHO AFRO Women Integrated Cancer Services (WICS) project, which enhances prevention, early detection, and management of breast and cervical cancers, NCDs, and mental health through a primary healthcare approach. “As we mark the climax of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, our efforts must continue beyond today. Early screening, HPV vaccination, and timely treatment save lives. Let’s ensure every woman has access to these essential services,” said PS Muthoni.
