The pandemic has helped mobilise incredible advances in innovation across the public and private sectors. Why is it then, after nearly a decade since the recommendation by WHO that HPV testing should be made the primary cervical screening method, that there is still such a lag to adopt it here in Asia?

As parts of the world begin to turn the corner on the covid-19 pandemic, pressing questions will emerge. What does a post-pandemic healthcare system look like? The 'Voices Project Dialogue' takes a look at multilateral perspectives that stem from Asia but while contextualising the world. Rohit Sahgal, Director, The Voices Project (A Sovereign Health Initiative) examines the vulnerabilities and opportunities that this next normal in health will force us to contend with.

Over the course of the episodes, policymakers, healthcare providers, academics and scientists will come together along with representatives from industry, patient associations, charities and the finance sector to examine issues such as: Financial rollout hurdles, community-driven policies, public/private barriers to engagement, inequity & accessibility, the challenge of living with co-morbidities, the post-covid cancer surge, financial exclusion, digital innovation for development sector prioritisation, climate-induced respiratory illnesses, mental health and much more.
