Protecting Women, Saving Lives.
Who We Are

Cervical Care Alliance

Cervical cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Uganda, with screening rates in rural areas as low as 4.8%. The burden is particularly heavy among women living with HIV. Barriers such as low awareness, stigma, high transport costs, and long distances to facilities continue to limit access to early detection. Cervical Care Alliance (CCA) was established to bridge these gaps by taking screening services directly to the community-especially rural market centers where women gather on a weekly basis - through partnerships with Village Health Teams (VHTs), local health facilities, and market-vendor associations. By leveraging existing systems and local trust, CCA promotes equitable, affordable, and lifesaving access to cervical cancer screening and referral services.

Our Mission

To reduce cervical cancer deaths by bringing preventive screening and referral services closer to women through community-based outreach, health system partnerships, and data-driven implementation, ensuring that no woman is left behind due to distance, stigma, or poverty.

Our Vision

A Uganda where every woman regardless of income or location has easy and affordable access to regular cervical cancer screening and referral services through a sustainable, community-led health system.
