What do healthcare providers know about human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer? a cross-sectional knowledge assessment in Debre Markos, Ethiopia

Article scientifique 2016 Anglais

Résumé

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women living in sub-Saharan Africa. Ethiopia has a high incidence of cervical cancer (35.9 per 100,000 women), with 7,095 women diagnosed annually and 4,732 dying every year from the disease. Low provider awareness and poor understanding of appropriate prevention, treatment, and screening interventions pose challenges to addressing this problem. To gauge the extent of this information gap, the study explores variation in healthcare providers' knowledge about HPV and cervical cancer at Debre Markos Referral Hospital, a tertiary public facility located in Ethiopia's Amhara region.
