Abstract
In May, 2018, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General of WHO, called for a global initiative for cervical cancer prevention and control. 2 years later, the World Health Assembly endorsed a strategic plan based on three pillars: prophylactic HPV vaccination; screening for HPV-associated precancer with appropriate follow-up; and timely, effective treatment for women found to have invasive cancer, including symptom management and palliative care.1 The strategic plan also included specific goals for member states to aim to meet by 2030 (90% of eligible girls vaccinated, 70% of women screened with an effective screen at least once in their lifetime, 90% of women found to have precancer or cancer receiving timely and effective treatment, and a 30% reduction in deaths from cervical cancer).
