Emanuela Dodeva: “Eliminate HPV Together” Conference by the European Cancer Organisation
Emanuela Dodeva, Co-Founder and President of EZRA, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Speaking at the “Eliminate HPV Together” Conference, organized by the European Cancer Organisation in the Bulgarian Parliament, was an incredibly empowering experience. Seeing passionate individuals, from government officials, healthcare professionals to patient advocates, all coming together with a shared commitment to eliminating HPV reaffirms the power of collaboration.
Signing the “Message Across Borders” declaration is a pivotal step toward a united regional strategy for HPV elimination. This declaration is more than just a formal agreement, it is a call to action to prioritize HPV vaccination, enhance screening programs, secure sustainable funding, and implement evidence-based policies that will save lives. By standing together, we reinforce the urgency of tackling HPV-related cancers and emphasize that prevention should be at the core of our healthcare strategies.
I am deeply grateful to the organisers for inviting EZRA – ЕЗРА even though we are not yet an EU member. As an association dedicated to healthcare improvement and patient advocacy, this opportunity allows us to share our perspectives, learn from established models, and seek support to strengthen HPV prevention efforts in our country.
As we move forward, it is essential that we:
- Advocate for HPV Vaccination – Encourage communities to embrace this life-saving measure.
- Educate & Inform – Break down myths, fight misinformation, and ensure accurate information reaches the public.
- Support Preventive Healthcare Policies – Push for policies that prioritize prevention, even in nations with limited healthcare resources.
Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that can be prevented, detected early, and ultimately eliminated. It is both our personal duty and collective responsibility to act now!”
