Thesis

Prioritisation of cervical cancer screening and barriers & facilitators for implementation in a low-resource context: a case study of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Under the supervision of Dr Anita Makins (University of Oxford), Professor Proochista Ariana (University of Oxford) and Professor Alex Mutombo (University of Kinshasa), Inès is conducting a qualitative research study focusing on the supply-side.
The aim of the study is to identify the factors informing prioritisation of national cervical cancer screening as well as identifying the barriers and facilitators for the implementation of such programme in a low resource context while using the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as a case study.
