Deborah Nantenza learned about cervical cancer screening at a hospital in eastern Uganda, a rural region where early diagnosis is rare. She knew women who had died of the disease yet feared being tested. "The health workers encouraged me," Nantenza says. Clinical staff found precancerous cervical cells during that June 2022 clinic screening, and the 46-year-old mother of six was quickly treated. "I'm feeling better," says Nantenza, who now advocates for other women, many never screened before.
