子宮頸がんは、前がん病変の段階で見つけて治療すれば防げる病気です。
カンボジアでは、日本政府とユニットエイドの支援を受け、WHOが保健省を支援しています。HPV検査キットや治療機器などの調達を通じて、検診から前がん病変の治療まで、必要なサービスへのアクセス拡大を目指しています。
WHO is supporting @MohCambodia in advancing secondary prevention of cervical cancer through the procurement of human papillomavirus (#HPV) testing kits, colposcopes, thermal ablation devices, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) systems and laboratory supplies.
This initiative aims to expand access to cervical cancer screening assessment, and treatment of cervical precancerous lesions and advancing Cambodia’s progress toward the elimination of #CervicalCancer.
We thank @UNITAID and @JapanGov for their generous support in procuring these essential supplies and equipment.
These collaborative efforts contribute to the goal of achieving a future free from cervical cancer.

ジュネーブで、厚生労働省と在ジュネーブ国際機関日本政府代表部が、日本の革新的な医薬品・医療機器を紹介するレセプションを開催しました。国際展示会「AidEx 2026」に合わせた催しです。 ユニットエイドのフィリップ・デュヌトン事務局長が基調講演を行い、ストップ結核パートナーシップのルチカ・ディティウ事務局長らも参加しました。
厚生労働省は2021年から、国際機関やパートナー国に対し、日本の先進的な医薬品・医療機器の導入を働きかけています。

The Ministry of Health, Government of Japan and WHO join hands to advance cervical cancer elimination in Mongolia
Mongolia is taking another important step towards eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem, with new investments to expand HPV-DNA based screening, strengthen early diagnosis and improve access to treatment for women across the country.
WHO Mongolia received approximately US$ 630 000 through a UNITAID project generously funded by the Government of Japan to support the introduction and scale-up of HPV-based cervical cancer screening and early treatment services in Mongolia. As part of this support, 20 000 HPV DNA tests and cervical cancer diagnostic and treatment equipment valued at US$ 531 720 were handed over to the Ministry of Health and the National Cancer Center on 13 August 2026.
The support includes HPV-DNA test kits capable of detecting 14 high-risk HPV types, as well as equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of precancerous cervical lesions, strengthening Mongolia’s cervical cancer elimination efforts.
The investment will accelerate Mongolia’s transition to nationwide implementation of HPV-DNA based cervical cancer screening, expanding access to quality screening, diagnosis and treatment, particularly for women living in rural and remote areas, while strengthening the national capacity for service delivery and quality of care through improved monitoring, supervision and continued capacity development.
This builds on important progress already made by Mongolia. The country introduced HPV vaccination in 2024, piloted HPV DNA testing in Khan-Uul District in 2025, and in April 2026 provided national capacity-building on HPV DNA testing, colposcopy and treatment of precancerous lesions to 742 health workers from all 21 provinces and 9 districts of Ulaanbaatar.
The Government of Japan's support is an important contribution to these efforts, helping bring essential tools and services closer to women who need them. By bringing together government leadership, international partners, technical expertise and investment, Mongolia is strengthening the foundations for a coordinated national programme to eliminate cervical cancer.

10月2日は世界酸素デー
電力や酸素供給が不安定な医療現場で、未熟児の呼吸を支える技術が現実を変えています。
電気も圧縮空気もいらない呼吸補助装置bCPAPのおかげで、医師が「どの赤ちゃんを助けるか」選ばなくて済む現場が増えています。
日本政府をはじめとする国々の支援が、この取り組みを支えています。

For premature babies struggling to breathe, bCPAP uses a gentle flow of pressurised air and #oxygen to help keep their lungs open. With support from @UNITAID, @Vayu_Health is bringing this simple technology to hospitals in Kenya, India, Brazil and Ukraine. ow.ly/NG7850ZSAZW

元厚生労働大臣 武見敬三氏が、ユニットエイド創設20周年に寄せてメッセージを寄せました。
「次の大きな転換点は、単に医療イノベーションを生み出すことから、それを誰もが実際に受け取れるようにすることへ移ることだ」
武見氏は、医薬品分野の国際的なエコシステム強化の必要性を指摘し、日本が2025年に世界銀行・WHOと共に設立した「UHCナレッジハブ」が、各国の財政と保健政策を結びつける実務知見を共有していると紹介しています。

途上国の保健分野への支援は、思われている以上に大きなリターンを生みます。ユニットエイドへの1ドルの投資は、健康改善や経済損失の回避を通じて46ドルの経済効果を生むとの分析があります。ユニットエイド事務次長テヌ・アヴァフィア氏は、塩野義製薬が開発した抗HIV薬「ドルテグラビル」のアフリカ供給などを、その効果の一例として挙げています。

Proud to be supporting BRIDGE-Access, led by @AfricaCDC and @WHO, and enabling @PATHtweets and @CHAI_health to bring their technical expertise to this work. Beyond diagnostics, we are adapting existing investments and partnerships to meet emerging needs as the outbreak evolves.
Diagnostics are essential to bring outbreaks under control. @WHO, @AfricaCDC and @UNITAID launched the BRIDGE-Access initiative (Bundibugyo Response for Improving Diagnostic Global Equitable Access) in the #DRC to generate evidence on how diagnostic tests perform against #Ebola caused by Bundibugyo virus, aiming to help countries make informed decisions about which tools to adopt and deploy and bring diagnosis closer to affected communities.
