Nationwide cervical precancer screening in Ghana: concurrent HPV DNA testing and visual inspection under an expanded hub-and-spoke model by Kofi Effah, John Allotey, Ethel Tekpor, Comfort Mawusi Wormenor, Joseph Emmanuel Amuah, Ernest Antwi-Boasiako, Erasmus Nikoi Kotey, Seyram Kemawor, Isaac Gedzah, Helena Maame Ama Frempong, Stephen Danyo, Edna Sesenu, Bernard Hayford Atuguba, Nana Owusu Mensah Essel, Patrick Kafui Akakpo

“…Drawing from our implementation of this model within the mTTWI, we posit that while Ghana prepares for organized screening, coordinating opportunistic screening could enable a phased expansion of cervical precancer screening with the help of international and local partners. This approach, combined with concurrent testing (hr-HPV DNA testing and visual inspection), holds promise for mitigating loss to follow-up among women requiring additional evaluation and lesion management.…”
