Dear HIFA colleagues,
We are excited about the upcoming discussion here on HIFA: Understanding information needs for improving uptake of cervical cancer screening and treatment, 19 October to 30 November 2026.
This project is a collaboration between HIFA, the WHO Global Coordination Mechanism on NCDs, and the WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative. You can read more about it here. www.hifa.org/cervicalcancer
PLEASE HELP US TO PUBLICISE THE DISCUSSION by forwarding this email to at least one contact you may have with an interest in this topic. This includes not only specialists but also primary health workers, patient advocates, people wih lived experience, policymakers and health information professionals. The more new members we enrol, the more vibrant and productive our discussion will be. Our collective inputs will be synthesised in a report to help inform future advocacy and knowledge products on cervical cancer screening and treatment.
Everyone is welcome to join here: www.hifa.org/joinhifa
