In the developing
world it’s the leading cause of female cancer
deaths: it’s cervical cancer and it kills more than
half a million women every year, most in poor
countries. New low-tech screening programmes have
begun to reduce cancer deaths but campaigners like,
Sarah Nyombi, a politician in Uganda, wants to see
more.
She’s trying to get a brand new vaccine, widely used
in the developed world. The trouble is, it cost $300
dollars a shot, way beyond Uganda’s health budget.
We follow her journey as she tries to find solutions
in the battle against The Real Lady Killer.
Part of a 28 x 25 minute documentary
series produced for the BBC. These films can be
bought individually or as a series. |
