Cancer Institute NSW shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today is Cervical Cancer Elimination Day of Action, an important reminder of what can be achieved with commitment and action.
Elimination is within reach in Australia, yet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women continue to be disproportionately affected by cervical cancer.
We were privileged to be joined by Associate Professor Megan Smith, University of Sydney, to present new research exploring the potential impact that scaling up screening could have on expediting cervical cancer elimination in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.
Special guests from AH&MRC of NSW and NACCHO Australia joined more than 150 Aboriginal and allied stakeholders to collectively discuss the research findings and strategies to promptly increase screening access for community.
The Cancer Institute NSW is committed to achieving equitable cancer outcomes for Aboriginal communities.
