SUCCESS ECHO

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a movement to share knowledge and amplify local capacity to provide best practice care for people all over the world.

Aims for SUCCESS ECHO

We utilise the ECHO model™ to provide peer-to-peer and expert support to multi-sectorial country teams in the Indo-Pacific answering the WHO call to scale up cervical cancer prevention to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem.

SUCCESS (Scale Up for Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategy Success) in the Indo-Pacific ECHO aims to provide ongoing, monthly consultations with researchers and public health professionals seeking and contributing peer advice and expert input regarding the challenges faced when scaling up to reach the 2030 goals.

These Indo-Pacific Countries have participated so far: Australia, Mongolia, Singapore, Brunei, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, China, Nepal, Taipei, India, New Zealand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, USA, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Maldives, Timor-Leste and Samoa

In establishing the SUCCESS ECHO, we invited and expanded upon the existing community of practice established by the US National Cancer Institute in its 2017-18 APEC cervical cancer prevention ECHO. 

SUCCESS ECHO in Action

We hold a monthly tele-mentoring session to provide a sustained exchange opportunity with the motto ‘All teach, all learn’. Over 45 minutes, following a short didactic from an expert with discussion, participating country teams, including both WPRO and SEARO WHO region countries, present case studies from their program or scale up projects for feedback and ideas from regional colleagues and international experts. Monthly session themes alternate between the three elimination pillars of screening, treatment and vaccination.
Over 230 colleagues from across the region and beyond are signed up to SUCCESS, with 44 sessions held to date. Participants are from at least 40 countries and include clinicians, researchers, Ministry of Health staff and NGOs. SUCCESS ECHO is supporting shared learning in relation to elimination and building ongoing networks and collaborations between participants.
