Julie Torode Highlights ACHA Advocacy ECHO Series on Cervical Cancer Communication in Africa

Julie Torode, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Patient and Community Engagement, Institute of Cancer Policy at King’s College London, shared on LinkedIn by KILELE Health, adding:

“Looking forward to an interesting series of discussions and sharing/learning on communication with the public from African program leaders and advocates. As a follow-up to the 2025 ACCESS Africa symposium.

Hope you can join us and contribute!”

Quoting KILELE Health:

“ACHA Advocacy ECHO Program is returning with Series 2, jointly delivered by IGCS – International Gynecologic Cancer Society, AORTIC- Africa, Project ECHO and KILELE Health. This time, we are putting communication at the centre of efforts to accelerate cervical cancer elimination across Africa, building on the learning established through the first ACHA ECHO Series.

This series will bring together Health Advocates, CSOs, Health Professionals, Researchers and Champions from across Africa to focus on how stronger communication can help us:

  • Build trust in cervical cancer prevention and care
  • Counter misinformation and misconceptions
  • Reduce stigma and fear surrounding cancer
  • Strengthen demand for HPV vaccination, screening and timely care
  • Share communication approaches and lessons that can be adapted across African settings

Through expert-led presentations, country experiences, peer-to-peer learning and interactive discussions, participants will have an opportunity to learn from one another and explore practical approaches to strengthening cervical cancer communication.

The series begins this September, with more information on the topics and speakers to be shared soon.

EN-FR translation and interpretation will be provided throughout the sessions.”
