Quotes This trial brings new energy to the elimination of cervical cancer. It brings great hope to the women living in countries like Kenya, who have a high burden of the disease, I'm especially honored because this award is named after Gita Ramjee, whom I knew for many years. The award keeps Gita’s work and passion for HIV prevention alive, CAB-LA still has a skewed access by high-income and low-income countries. My concern is these disparities will reach a time when we stop looking for interventions when it is only those from low-income [countries] who carry the burden of disease. External links
