“…Nonetheless, low‐income countries need to implement low‐cost options for primary prevention and screening strategies that should be matched with access to acceptable standards of care within the existing decentralized health services delivery model 12 . Concerted efforts at all levels are required to counter the premature cancer deaths which is largely linked to late detection 13 and has become one of the leading causes of premature deaths in low‐income countries among all causes of deaths 14,15 . Partnering with local community leaders and district primary healthcare managers in mobilization and building trust in the program could leverage program coverage 16 …”

Background In 2018, approximately 60,000 Ugandans were estimated to be suffering from cancer. It was also reported that only 5% of cancer patients access cancer care and 77% present with late‐stage cancer coupled with low level of cancer health literacy in the population despite a wide coverage of primary healthcare facilities in Uganda. We aimed to contribute to reducing the unmet needs of cancer prevention and early detection services in Uganda through capacity building. Methods In 2017, we conducted two national and six regional cancer control stakeholders’ consultative meetings. In 2017 and 2018, we trained district primary healthcare teams on cancer prevention and early detection. We also developed cancer information materials for health workers and communities and conducted a follow‐up after the training. Results A total of 488 primary healthcare workers from 118 districts were trained. Forty‐six health workers in the pilot East‐central subregion were further trained in cervical, breast, and prostate cancer early detection (screening and early diagnosis) techniques. A total of 32,800 cancer information, education and communication materials; breast, cervical, prostate childhood and general cancer information booklets; health education guide, community cancer information flipcharts for village health teams and referral guidelines for suspected cancer were developed and distributed to 122 districts. Also, 16 public and private‐not‐for‐profit regional hospitals, and one training institution received these materials. Audiovisual clips on breast, cervical, and prostate cancer were developed for mass and social media dissemination. A follow‐up after six months to one year indicated that 75% of the districts had implemented at least one of the agreed actions proposed during the training. Conclusions In Uganda, the unmet needs for cancer control services are enormous. However, building the capacity of primary healthcare workers to integrate prevention and early detection of cancer into primary health care based on low‐cost options for low‐income countries could contribute to reducing the unmet needs of cancer prevention and early detection in Uganda.

Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus found in the cervix of a sexually active woman. HPV enters micro lesions in the cervical epithelium binds to primary receptors in the membrane layer over time and becomes an invasive cancer. The invasive cancer process takes 5-10 years. Detection of HPV DNA has currently used cervical swab samples. Currently, HPV DNA can be detected in menstrual blood. Objective: this study aimed to analyze the comparison of HPV DNA from menstrual blood in menstrual cups and cervical swabs and to analyze the risk factors associated with positive HPV DNA in single-partner and multi-partner women.Method: cross-sectional method at one time with an analytical observational method using consecutive sampling, sample selection according to the researcher's criteria. The sample used was 44 women according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Spearman statistical test was used to determine the comparison of results from detecting HPV DNA from menstrual blood and cervical swabs, determining the analysis of risk factors (age, occupation, parity, sexual partners, contraception, and smoking) related to positive HPV DNA in both groups using the chi-square test. and Spearman test according to the data scale. Results: there was no difference in results between HPV DNA from menstrual blood in menstrual cups and cervical swabs in both the single-partner and multi-sexual partner groups of women with p= 0,209 and 0,301. Conclusion: there is a comparison of HPV DNA detection from menstrual blood in menstrual cups and cervical swabs in single-partner and multi-sexual partner women. The accuracy of menstrual blood examination results is good in detecting HPV DNA
