The implementation of the Cervical Cancer Program in conitnues despite the challenges due to COVID-19. These last three months, hundreds of women were screened with pap smear tests in different municipalities where the programme is being implemented.
The expansion of the program in two additional municipalities. in Gjilan and Obiliq, is in the last phases and will start during November 2021. Additionally, continuing capacity building training for healthcare professionals on how to take a Pap smear is necessary to achieve both higher quality and capacity, particularly for family medicine physicians who require the right to administer the test. Within this capacity building training is also the preparation for healthcare professionals on usage of the e-PapTest application that digitalizes administrative information and statistics, further enhancing the quality of the program.
This year we have held awareness lectures with six different middle schools of Prishtina, Peja, Mitrovica and Prizren. Two more lectures are planned to happen in this quarter of the year.
We thank all of you for your continues support on this extremely important programme for the health of women in Kosovo.
