PATH in Glamour magazine

Non-communicable diseases

Did you see PATH mentioned in the latest issue of Glamour magazine?

The November Glamour describes new vaccines that protect against human papillomavirus, two strains of which lead to most cervical cancers. The article highlights the need for the vaccine in developing countries, where women don’t have access to preventive health care and where more than 80 percent of new cases of cervical cancers occur.

PATH is working in India, Peru, Uganda, and Vietnam to integrate the new vaccines into health systems, and Glamour encouraged readers to support us in our efforts to prevent cervical cancer.
