What is CHILI about?
The CHILI consortium envisions to optimize cervical cancer screening in low- and middle-income countries by offering a modified, cost-effective version of the point-of-care ELEVATE tool to test self-sampled samples. This promising device, which has the potential to reduce drastically the cancer burden in developing countries, will be implemented in four countries, namely Cambodia, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Uganda.
Our approach
The concept of the CHILI project is to design a multidisciplinary intervention to enhance screening coverage for cervical cancer, particularly for women in low- and middle-income countries. It is the intention of the CHILI consortium to develop a strategy that will bring cervical cancer screening to women, and not the other way around.
Screening pathways
To understand current screening practices and to define new strategies, such as the ELEVATE tool, compatible with self-sampling, and meet the conditions and requirements of the local context to increase screening coverage in the selected low- and middle-income countries.
ELEVATE Screening device
To adapt and upscale the ELEVATE screening device to be used as a universal screening test in low- and middle-income countries.
Societal impact
Health technology assessment of the adapted ELEVATE screening device, determining its user-acceptability, uptake and cost-effectiveness, by implementing and evaluating the new screening strategies in the selected low- and middle-income countries.
