Local communities play a vital role in promoting vaccination and ensuring equitable access to healthcare services. 🏘️🤝 👩💻 Innovative Approaches: The initiative includes innovative approaches such as the development of a ‘scorecard’ system to assess the coverage and quality of HPV vaccination programs. This system will help advocate for increased investment in HPV vaccination. 📊💡 🌍 Global Partnerships: The UICC’s efforts are supported by global partnerships, including WHO, UNICEF, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. These collaborations aim to strengthen healthcare systems and improve vaccination coverage. 🌐🤝 Future Strategies: The initiative also focuses on future strategies for cervical cancer prevention and treatment, including the adoption of WHO’s one-dose vaccine schedule, which has shown to provide solid protection against HPV. 🔮💉 Application are still open until the 30 September 2024. 🔗 Read the full article here : https://lnkd.in/gyqCR7zP Let’s continue to support and advocate for accessible healthcare solutions.
