EuroMed Cancer Network contributions to eliminating cervical cancer in low- and middle-income Mediterranean countries
Background: Cervical cancer places a significant burden on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The EuroMed Cancer Network (EuMedCN) brings together cancer experts and stakeholders from the Mediterranean countries to promote sustainable cancer screening and support implementation of the WHO Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem. Aim: To highlight the constructive role of EuMedCN in mitigating inequalities in access to cervical cancer prevention and screening across the Mediterranean LMICs. Methods: Through its workshops and meetings, EuMedCN members discussed new developments in cancer prevention and control, and how best to translate the WHO Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem into public health policies in the Mediterranean LMICs. This led to targeted actions in the selected countries. Results: Seven priority actions were implemented to improve cervical cancer screening in the Mediterranean LMICs. EuMedCN supported organized screening, new pilot technologies and enhancement of evaluation systems. Integrating cervical cancer screening into other disease programmes and fostering multidisciplinary networks were promoted as key to achieving targets of the WHO global strategy. Conclusion: International networks, such as EuMedCN, have the potential to bring together experts and stakeholders to share experiences and catalyse resource mobilization. They can support affordable and synergistic solutions for cervical cancer prevention.
