Introduction-Breast and Gynecological cancers (BGC) contribute immensely to the healthcare burden in Brazil, because majority of women present at diagnosis, with advanced disease stage coupled with long queue before commencement of treatments, which has led to more deaths of women. Many public policies have been put in place in Brazil since mid-1980s, VIVA Mulher program, 1998. In 2012, Brazil came up with the “laws of 60 days” to tackle the delay in treatment. Unfortunately, COVID-19 Pandemic has further worsened the impact of these diseases on women, especially, that this year marks the end of the target of the Strategic Action Plan to Confront Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases including BGCs. Objective-This study aims to evaluate the progress of BGC control programs using selected indicators and develop applications to facilitate cancer control in Brazil. Methodology-Trends of selected Epidemiological indices will be modelled across the 27 federative units of Brazil from 1996-2023 using Mann-Kendall trend test. Expected Outcome-Progress or lack of it with respect to BGC control programs. Conclusion-There needs to be an evaluation of current state of things so appropriate recommendations can be made to policy makers to tackle the identified challenges.

. This abstract describes the impact of engaging a community in a qualitative research on Covid-19 in India. This qualitative study aimed to understand the experiences of health-care providers in giving; and Covid-19 patients on receiving health-care in tertiary-care hospitals of India. Purpose of community engagement was to improve the design and methodology of the study and to build trust and transparency among the stakeholders. Methodology: The study team implemented a community engagement technique in the form of a community advisory group (CAG). The group comprised of relevant stakeholders (n=16) including physicians, nurses, policy makers/state health-representatives, Covid-19 patients and their caregivers. Throughout the research duration, CAG met thrice (i) study initiation (ii) progress and (iii) dissemination. The first CAG meeting was to engage members on research question, design and methodology. CAG met again after the data collection to provide different perspectives into the data interpretation. The last CAG meeting was to explore `non-traditional` dissemination techniques to expand reach of research findings and policymaking. Results: We used CAG to engage the community on the following levels of participation: informing community about research; consulting with them on methodology; involving them at every stage of research and collaborating with them to co-design and co-conduct research. Key CAG contributions included: refining the data collection guide to make it culturally-sensitive, helping co-design and refine data collection methodology and recruitment procedure, co-observing project progress and giving recommendations for dissemination. CAG was an essential tool in our research, through which the stakeholders shared lived experience and ensured the work was guided by a robust understanding of the stakeholders involved.
