EaPConnect partner RENAM supports Moldova’s new cervical cancer screening network
Date: 03/11/23
Women in the Republic of Moldova will experience enhanced cervical cancer screening and prevention services thanks to the National Colposcopy Network, launched on 2 November 2023. The network uses videoconferencing services provided by RENAM, the country’s research and education network and partner in the ‘EU4Digital: Connecting Research and Education Communities (EaPConnect)’ project to help the new system to run smoothly.
The official inauguration of the new network took place at the National Colposcopy Referral Centre in the Research Institute for Mother and Child Health Care on 2 November 2023. The national network consists of 12 offices across the country where women will be provided with better access to services for early detection of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer.
Specialists from the National Colposcopy Referral Centre will provide online guidance and support to gynaecologists operating in the regional offices using a videoconferencing system based on the BigBlueButton platform provided by RENAM, which also provides technical support.
The platform allows multiple images from one location to be viewed and communicated online, and provides video guidance for the ‘in vivo’ medical examination. The platform also uses encryption protocols for text in chats and audio-video to ensure the security of the data transmitted online.
The network’s medical personnel underwent three training sessions to learn how to use the technology. The sessions were conducted in test mode, simulating real conditions as closely as possible.
