IARC and Irish health services collaborate to improve quality and coverage of cervical screening programme

In the CervScreen Project, researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) are working in collaboration with the Department of Health and the Health Service Executive of Ireland to address global issues relating to the quality and coverage of cervical screening programmes.

As part of this joint initiative, IARC and the Irish authorities have formed three Technical Working Groups, comprising experts in the areas of public health, the implementation and quality improvement of cancer screening, health communication, national and international laws governing relevant medicolegal issues, and regulations in data protection.

The CervScreen Project aims to provide an attractive model for implementing global best practices in cancer screening at the national level after contextualizing them to the local setting.
