HARMONY is dedicated to transforming cancer research by harmonizing clinical trials, sharing knowledge, and promoting equitable care. HARMONY’s expanded key pillars of education, intervention, and collaboration drive our cervical cancer initiatives to prevent disease and improve outcomes in underserved communities worldwide.
Cervical Cancer Collective (CCC)
The Cervical Cancer Collective brings China-Africa Hospitals Alliance (CAHA) hospitals together in a shared mission to eliminate cervical cancer by advancing coordinated prevention, screening, treatment, and follow-up across partner sites. Serving as the overarching framework for this effort, the Collective aligns clinical priorities, promotes shared learning, and supports standardized, high‑quality care. In addition to convening CAHA hospitals within this framework, the Collective will also provide oversight for the STO Fellowship program, ensuring that fellows are embedded in the Collective’s work and contribute directly to implementation, research, and capacity‑building efforts.
A Preventable Global Threat
Prevention begins with access
Cervical cancer is preventable, yet its impact remains significant in low-resourced communities. HARMONY’s initiatives advance proven strategies for screening and early detection, engaging local partners and experts to deliver interventions where they’re needed most.
We welcome collaboration and insights from those working to improve cervical cancer outcomes globally.
Impact of HPV Vaccines
For nearly two decades, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been a powerful tool in preventing HPV-related cancers and infections. The story of these vaccines goes back more than 70 years, weaving together scientific breakthroughs, ethical debates, and global public health achievements.
Take a closer look at how we went from early cancer research to vaccines that are now saving lives worldwide.
