Professor Linda Bennett awarded an Australia-Indonesia Institute Grant

University of Melbourne Professor Linda Bennett has been awarded an Australia-Indonesia Institute Grant for collaborative curriculum development of cervical cancer patient education in Indonesia.

This project involves co-development and piloting of a patient education module for Indonesian patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, providing a crucial resource for  health professionals, filling a critical information gap and enhancing patients’ right to quality health care.

“Receiving comprehensive information about cervical cancer, empowers women to understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and self-care practices. Professor Bennett said.

“This knowledge can significantly improve their ability to make informed decisions about their health.”

Professor Bennett's team includes long-time colleagues from the Centre for Reproductive Health at Universitas Gadjah Mada and the Nossal Institute for Global Health at the University of Melbourne.
