Last week, we successfully organised a workshop for researchers and policy makers across Europe to disseminate best practices on the implementation of cancer screening programmes. @gacd_media @HorizonEU
We are currently organizing a workshop for cancer screening researchers and policymakers from European and Mediterranean countries in Bled, Slovenia. #EUTOPIAEAST
The workshop was opened by Harry de Koning, Professor of Public Health and Screening Evaluation, ErasmusMC, The Netherlands. Followed by remarks from Slovenian Ministry of Health, the EU, and the WHO.
During the first day of the workshop, participants were also informed and provided with tools for monitoring and evaluation for cancer screening programmes. #EUTOPIAEAST
A new cancer screening centre has been opened in Georgia with the support from the EU-TOPIA-EAST project. 🇬🇪 #cancerscreening #georgia
One of the goals in establishing a new cancer screening center is to address capacity issues, especially for implementing breast cancer screening in Georgia.
Mammography screening has been offered since 2008 in Georgia, however the participation is still around 10%.
This workshop will be aimed at key elements of screening: monitoring, evaluation, and barriers. Various sessions will be held including lectures, discussions, networking, and tools demonstration.
We will keep you updated about this workshop. Also visit our website for the upcoming news and updates! eu-topia-east.org

Nowhere is the tension between society-wide policy and individual choice as stark as in the field of public health.
