Women from Region Eight will soon be able to access free cryotherapy treatment through regional outreaches, which will be done by the Mahdia District Hospital or by visiting the hospital.
On Friday, the staff of the Mahdia District Hospital received a cryotherapy machine from the Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence in hopes that women in the region can be cured of cervical cancer, once diagnosed.
The machine is used to treat early signs of cervical cancer and other abnormalities. Cryotherapy treatment has been widely accepted as a practical and effective method of treating pre-cancerous cervical lesions worldwide.
