IFPA Submission to the National Cervical Screening Programme
November 2007
The IFPA welcomes the development of a national cervical screening programme and is pleased to participate in the submission process in advance of the national rollout. The IFPA has advocated for the implementation of a national cervical screening programme for over a decade as an essential component of a comprehensive sexual and reproductive health strategy, public health policy and preventative health care for women. IFPA doctors and nurses are trained and experienced smear takers, providing on average 7000 smear tests each year.
This submission outlines the ways in which the IFPA’s experience can inform the practical implementation of the National Cervical Screening Programme.
