SDG3.7 – Eliminating Cervical Cancer in the Indo-Pacific Region, with the EPICC Program

Welcome to Episode 6 of Good Will Hunters, in our new series on SDG3 – Good Health and Wellbeing. Today’s episode looks at SDG 3.7 – By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes. Specifically, we’ll be focusing on a new program which I am incredibly excited about – it is the Elimination Partnership in the Indo-Pacific for Cervical Cancer, or EPICC.
