Bevolkingsonderzoek Caribisch Nederland (BVO-CN) is celebrating a special milestone: five years of working towards the early detection of cancer. The population screening programs for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer are now active on Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba.
Since its launch, commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS), BVOCN has developed step by step. This was accompanied by challenges in the areas of facilities, organization and collaboration. This milestone has been achieved thanks to the dedication and expertise of the team and the chain partner organizations involved.
After a year of experience on Bonaire, the latest programs, the colorectal cancer screening programs, has also been prepared further for introduction on St. Eustatius and Saba. In the process, practical experience has been used to improve the implementation where necessary.
Will you celebrate this milestone with us?
