Abstract

WHO launched the global Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative (CCEI) in 2020 to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer.1 The aim of the initiative is to reduce cervical cancer incidence to less than 4 cases per 100 000 women-years in every country of the world and to narrow disparities between countries. The WHO CCEI also emphasises the need for improved surveillance and continuous monitoring of cervical cancer in all countries. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor risk factors associated with cervical cancer and epidemiological trends potentially affected by human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cancer screening programmes.
