Dispensary-level cancer education in Tanzania

PURPOSE Mortality of women due to breast and cervical cancer in Tanzania is high, with mortality from cervical cancer greater than 60% compared with less than 20% in the United States.1 Limited knowledge of cervical cancer by frontline healthcare providers and the general public in Tanzania is a barrier for prevention and control strategies. A cancer training session developed by St. Catherine University physician assistant (PA) students and their professor was held in January 2016. The dispensary-level staff targeted in this training were advanced practice providers consisting of clinical officers and advanced medical officers. The purpose of the training was to provide a better understanding of risk factors as well as signs and symptoms of cervical and breast cancer for early detection and referral for treatment.
