Launch of the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer
On November 17, following the close of the 73rd World Health Assembly, the World Health Organization (WHO) marked this historic announcement to officially launch the elimination strategy. Due to the pandemic, the event was held virtually and hosted by WHO leadership. The governments of Australia, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria and Rwanda co-sponsored the event.
Women who have lived with cervical cancer from all regions of the world – including advocates and survivors who have fought the disease opened the event. High-level speakers joined them, reflecting support from a broad coalition of partners and agencies. In addition to conveying unity in the stand against this cancer, the messaging will continue to socialize the public to the goals and targets set by the strategy: by the year 2030, all countries can achieve 90% HPV vaccination coverage, 70% screening coverage, and 90% access to treatment for cervical pre-cancer and cancer, including access to palliative care.
Watch the event here. The event is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.
