Peruvian women have one of the highest rates of cervical cancer in the world. The disease is entirely preventable yet many lack the financial means and geographic access to preventive healthcare.
Mission
CerviCusco is a Peruvian non-profit organization committed to improving the health and quality of life of Peruvian women through the prevention of cervical cancer. We deliver cervical cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment and other women’s health services.
