Description: Purchase the equipment to support cervical cancer screening program.
Georgian Society of Clinical Oncology is a member of the consortium EU-TOPIA-EAST, research and innovation project Horizon. In order to improve access to the screening program, a new center for the cancer screening program will be established in Lanchkhuti (West Georgia,Guria), for three municipalities (total population around 135,000) by May 2023. Guria region is one of the other regions where there is no cancer screening unit and women who want to be screened have to travel long distances.
The aim of the project was to make cervical cancer screening services available to the target population in the newly established screening center in Lanchkuti. To achieve this, IWA supported GSCO and purchased the equipment needed to perform cervical screening. These are: gynaecological chair and colposcopy.
It should be underlined that after its establishment, the new regional center will become part of the national cancer screening program. Medical services provided within the national screening program are free of charge for the target population.
