The WHO Global Malaria Programme recommends the use of subnational data on disease epidemiology and other relevant local contextual factors to facilitate the process of SNT. Once the strategies and intervention mixes have been defined, programmes can proceed to the prioritization of
interventions for effective programming, based on available resources

The information and illustrations in this atlas have immense potential to be directly useful in the training of nurses, postgraduate students, non-specialist doctors, and gynaecologists in colposcopy, as well as in the day-to-day clinical practice of experienced colposcopists. In this context, this atlas will find its place among the resources that will contribute to cervical cancer control worldwide.
