Associate Professor Marion Savile is Executive Director of the VCS Foundation, a leading nonprofit helping to deliver the project, and I spoke with her earlier. voice-verified
Marion, welcome to the Health Report. voice-verified
Let's start with the situation here at home. voice-verified
Australia is on track to eliminate cervical cancer. voice-verified
Presumably that's because of our national immunisation program, but also because of the changes to the national screening program in twenty seventeen. voice-verified
That's when we went from uh papsmears to HPV tests. voice-verified
Okay, so it's a pretty optimistic picture really for us. voice-verified
Uh, but in many parts of the world that's not the case. voice-verified
There were nearly six hundred thousand new cases of cervical cancer last year. voice-verified
Where do we need to scale up vaccine coverage and screening programs? voice-verified
And is it about lack of resources, cost of vaccine? voice-verified
What's the kind of major barriers to access? voice-verified
Are there countries around the world where because of cultural barriers access to screening remains an issue? voice-verified
And one of the ways that VCS is trying to deliver these kind of prevention services where they're really needed is in a program in Malaysia that you're involved in. voice-verified
Can you tell me a little bit about what the program is? voice-verified
It's at a pilot stage at the moment. voice-verified
And a big part of that project is a self-collection process, right? voice-verified
So it's HPV self-tests. voice-verified
How many women in Malaysia are currently getting screened? voice-verified
And with the self collected sample, so how does that work? voice-verified
