Carrying out complex health screening programmes
The overall long-term objective of this flagship project is to reduce the risk of mortality preventable by screening tests, to improve public health awareness and to review and improve the health screening systems. To achieve these, the regulatory framework for screening tests was developed, the targeted public health tests (breast cancer screening, cervical and colorectal screening) were further improved, and general practitioners, nurses, assistants and pharmacists received free training. In order to encourage people to participate in screening, an awareness-raising campaign promoted healthy life habits. The project also contributed to setting up a comprehensive, integrated screening regulatory system and an IT system supporting public health screening.
