ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Every year, cervical cancer kills about 400 Canadian women. Worldwide, cervical cancer kills one woman every two minutes. But cervical cancer is a completely preventable illness.

Two Canadian scientists are working hard to bring the tools and awareness to the world to eliminate this deadly disease forever.
