Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of the single visit approach in the management of precancerous lesions of the cervix in the CECAP sites of Conakry in 2022. Methodology: This was a multicenter cross-sectional descriptive study, using retrospective data at the six CECAP sites from July 1 to Conakry. Three data collection tools: the individual form, a screening register, and a monthly summary sheet or reporting template, were used to track key single-visit service variables: the number of women screened using VIA, proportion of women screened positive for VIA and proportion of women screened VIA positive who received cryotherapy on the same day, KoBo Collect served the collections and the analysis was carried out by the software EPI info version 7.2 6. Results: during our three-month study, in the six pilot sites of Conakry, 786 women were screened, of whom 3.18% (25/786), had IVA+, 62.5% benefited from cryotherapy the same day, it was postponed in 37.5% of cases, the program did not train providers in the management of large lesions, which is one of the limitations of our study. Conclusion: Visual inspection with acetic acid is a simple test, requiring minimal infrastructure and expense, little provider training. The integration of VIA with cryotherapy at the primary care level in the communal medical centers of the city of Conakry, could constitute a feasible program for the prevention of cervical cancer in Guinea.
