CHILI General Meeting

Global implementation of cancer screening can be hindered by differences in cultures and available resources between countries. The EU-funded CHILI project addresses this challenge by determining the acceptability, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the ELEVATE cervical cancer screening tool for women in low-income countries. The tool is a portable, battery-powered device compatible with self-sampling and comprises an HPV DNA test as well as a proteomic biomarkers detection sensor is offered to women in Uganda, Mozambique, Ethiopa and Cambodia.

The consortium will meet in Uganda, since the UVRI-IAVI HIV Vaccine Program of this country is an active member of the consortium.
