Destination: Radiotherapy

This documentary follows the journey of Chimwemwe and Nessie, two Malawian women diagnosed with cervical cancer, as they undergo treatment and travel to Kenya for radiotherapy. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide and—despite being preventable, detectable, and treatable—it kills hundreds of thousands of women each year. In the landlocked country of Malawi in East Africa, over 4,000 Malawian women fall sick with cervical cancer every year. With 2,905 deaths due to cervical cancer in 2020, the country also has the second highest rate of mortality in the world, after Eswatini. In partnership with Malawi’s Ministry of Health, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs a cervical cancer project based in Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in the southern district of Blantyre. The project focuses on providing effective, feasible, and high-impact care to prevent and treat cervical cancer through a comprehensive program that includes screening, consultations, specialized surgery, and palliative care for advanced-stage patients. Radiation therapy, which is considered the first-line treatment for cervical cancer, is currently unavailable in Malawi, though two radiotherapy projects (non-MSF) are ongoing and aim to be operational by 2024. In the meantime, MSF developed a temporary referral system to send some cervical cancer patients to Kenya for radiotherapy. Since 2022, 62 women with cervical cancer have traveled from Malawi to Kenya to receive treatment.
