Facility-based indicators to monitor cervical cancer control services for women living with HIV
01.12.2023
In collaboration with the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium, the Cervical Cancer Prevention and Care Cascade (CCPC Cascade) has been developed as a monitoring framework for routine patient-level data collection at HIV clinics offering cervical cancer prevention and care services in sub-Saharan Africa. The framework includes 17 facility-based indicators for performance measurement. Indicators can be adapted for use in different contexts.
