Abstract

In 2020, 604 000 women were diagnosed with and 342 000 women died of cervical cancer, mostly in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs),1 making cervical cancer a public health problem in these settings. WHO recommends a 90–70–90 strategy for the elimination of cervical cancer by 2030: 90% of girls to be fully vaccinated with the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine by age 15 years; 70% of women screened with an HPV DNA test or other high-performance test by age 35 years, and again by age 45 years; 90% of women with cervical pre-cancer treated; and 90% of women with invasive cancer managed.
