Topic

One Less Worry – Improving Access to Screening to Prevent HPV-related Cancer

Description

Join our interactive expert panel event on Friday March 3rd as we cut the ribbon on this year’s commemoration of International HPV Awareness Day. Hosted by the International Papillomavirus Society (IPVS) and moderated by broadcaster, survivor and NGO founder Tamika Felder, our panel brings together knowledge leaders from the world of clinical practice, policy and patient advocacy to explore strategies and priorities to advance access to screening as part of a global strategy to prevent HPV-related cancer.

Access to cervical screening has been identified, alongside HPV vaccination, as a key pillar in the WHO cervical cancer elimination strategies, yet access to cervical screening around the world is far from where it needs to be. This panel will explore the gaps and discuss strategies to address barriers to access, with a focus on improving community awareness and supporting collective advocacy to drive action. Our panelists will discuss opportunities around the development and implementation of new technologies to improve screening and prevention for cervical and other HPV-related cancers.
