CHILI – A Community-based HPV screening implementation in Low-Income countries

Challenges like differences in available resources hinder a global implementation of cancer screening.
The CHILI project aims to address this challenge by determining the acceptability, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the ELEVATE cervical cancer screening tool for women in low-income countries. The tool is a portable, battery-powered device compatible with self-sampling and comprises an HPV DNA test as well as a proteomic biomarkers detection sensor and will be offered to women in Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mozambique and Uganda.
