The overall goal of the Regional Roundtable was to provide participants the opportunity to assess the current state of national cervical cancer programmes in the region and identify key interventions to improve the effectiveness of their programs. Based on roundtable discussions, a summary of action items will be developed for the next 12-month period highlighting potential areas that could be supported by private sector partners.
