The Real Lady Killers
Description
In the developing world it’s the leading cause of female cancer deaths: it’s cervical cancer, and it kills more than half a million women every year—mostly in poor countries. New low-tech screening programs have begun to reduce cancer deaths, but campaigners like Sarah Nyombi, a politician in Uganda, wants to see more.She’s trying to get a brand new vaccine, widely used in the developed world. The trouble is, it costs $300 a shot—way beyond Uganda’s health budget. We follow her journey as she tries to find solutions in the battle against "the real lady killer."
