Proposed solutions targeted both provider and system levels. In all countries, fostering trusting relationships between vulnerable women and social or healthcare professionals, coupled with community outreach for awareness and access to testing was a consistent recommendation. Participants in Estonia, Denmark, France, Italy, Portugal and Romania advocated for tailoring healthcare services to meet the unique needs of vulnerable populations through a holistic approach. In Bulgaria and Romania, participants advocated for the need to secure free access, from screening to follow-up, and emphasised the need for organised screening with target population screening registries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study offers insights into stakeholders' recommendations for enhancing cervical cancer screening services for vulnerable women across seven European countries.
