Every 2 minutes, a woman dies of Cervical cancer, 90% of them in low- and middle-income countries. But it’s the one cancer we can eliminate by expanding access to vaccination, screening and treatment for women in all countries”- @DrTedros Cervical cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related death among women living in sub-Saharan Africa and the high burden of cervical cancer is driven by gender, social and economic inequalities and health disparities in access to HPV vaccines, screening, care and modern prevention and treatment technologies. Despite being one of the leading causes of death from cancer for women in low- and medium-income countries (LMICs), cervical cancer is also one of the most preventable and treatable cancer types. So, no woman should die of cervical cancer when we have a highly effective HPV vaccine and quality diagnostics. We need prevention and early detection. @WHO
