Abstract
Often referred to as the “Jewel of the Caribbean,” the Dominican Republic (DR) boasts more than 1,000 miles of majestic, white sandy beaches outlining the clear, blue, sparkling Caribbean Sea. However, beyond the golden sunsets of the beautiful country lie the tragedy and stark reality for many women living in poverty: the extremely high incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer, a largely preventable disease, is taking the lives of women in the DR at an alarmingly high rate.
