Mavuto: The Forgotten Women

For many women, like 30-year-old Alice, a cervical cancer diagnosis is a death sentence. With limited access to the HPV vaccine, no radiation treatment for cancer anywhere in the country, and lack of screenings, this preventable disease has become a deadly health crisis in Malawi. A nurse and ex-pat doctor are giving their all to fight this disease and comfort those who are dying.
