Costing the National Response to Cervical Cancer: United Republic of Tanzania, 2020-2024

Overview

This current costing exercise assists in the implementation of the National Response to Cervical Cancer 2020—2024 in Tanzania and supports the development of new plans for the cervical cancer elimination effort. The results reported illustrate the additional resources and expenditures required for the Response and help inform government planners and programme managers as to its feasibility and affordability. The information may then be extended to help highlight areas of priority in planning the considerable acceleration of service provision that will be needed under a cervical cancer elimination strategy. While the current Response nearly reaches the ambitious vaccination target of the Global Strategy towards Eliminating Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem, Tanzania’s coverage targets for a future plan might take all the elimination 2030 targets into consideration
