Detailed Description: PINCC is a 501c3 non-profit organization that takes small teams into low income and low-middle income countries to teach healthcare workers how to recognize and treat cervical dysplasia. We spend a week teaching and treating and then require our trainees to screen for 6 months. We then return and rescreen with them the positive exams that they have seen. We treat with thermocoagulation. After our training is complete, we leave our equipment so that the site is self-sustaining. We have ongoing training sites in Kenya, Tanzania, Guatemala and Cambodia with proposed sites in Ghana, Rwanda and India.
