Rapid implementation mapping to identify implementation determinants and strategies for cervical cancer control in Nigeria
Introduction Cervical cancer is a challenging chronic disease affecting millions of women in sub-Saharan Africa. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting women in Nigeria, accounts for the highest number of deaths from cancers, and is more prevalent in HIV-infected women and occurs at a younger median age than in HIV-negative women (1, 2). The provision and uptake of cervical cancer screening and treatment is limited in Nigeria (3, 4).

Missed opportunities in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection: experience from a national programme in Nigeria
An analysis of validated National Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) data from 2008 to 2014 showed that Nigeria has recorded steady progress. However, to achieve elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, service scale-up and active testing of pregnant women are required, as a large number of HIV-infected women in Nigeria are not aware of their HIV status.
