.@WHO is proud to celebrate India and South Africa for making major progress towards cervical cancer elimination by making HPV vaccines available to girls. #India has launched the largest free HPV vaccination campaign in history, targeting almost 12 million girls aged 14 every year. #SouthAfrica is ensuring every girl between 9 and 14 receives an HPV vaccine. I urge more countries to take similar steps to achieve the 90-70-90 targets set out in the @WHO Global Strategy to eliminate cervical cancer: -90 percent of girls vaccinated; -70 percent of women screened; -And 90% of women with cervical cancer or precancerous lesions treated, all by 2030.

I commend Prime Minister @narendramodi and @MoHFW_INDIA for rolling out a nationwide HPV vaccination campaign to protect girls from cervical cancer. @WHO is committed to working with all countries, through our cervical cancer elimination initiative, to ensure girls and women can live their lives free from this preventable disease.
Shielding every daughter today, shaping a cancer-free India tomorrow. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launches the Nationwide HPV Vaccination Campaign in Ajmer, Rajasthan — a transformative step towards eliminating cervical cancer and strengthening women’s health across India. #HPVVaccine #CervicalCancer #SwasthNariViksitBharat

Eliminating cervical cancer is possible - countries and communities are proving it every day 👇🏾 #EndCervicalCancer @BarangX @DrNonoSimelela
In 2018, I was proud to launch the global call to action on cervical cancer elimination, and I'm even prouder now to see what was once a distant dream becoming a reality. Today, 162 countries have introduced the HPV vaccine. In Australia, no cervical cancer cases were diagnosed among women under 25 in 2021 and survival rates have increased showing that equitable access to vaccination, screening and treatment works. Rwanda launched Africa's first national HPV vaccination programme in 2011 and has since maintained a remarkable over 90% vaccination coverage among girls aged 9–15 years. Its “Mission 2027” programme aims to achieve the global targets three years ahead of time. Pakistan is integrating HPV vaccination into its Expanded Programme on Immunization in 2026, after reaching over 9 million girls in the largest single HPV vaccination campaign any country has every conducted last year. Countries worldwide are accelerating efforts to expand access to HPV vaccination, screening and treatment, advancing toward the WHO Global cervical cancer elimination initiative’s 90-70-90 targets of: -90% of girls vaccinated against HPV by age 15 years; -70% of women are screened by age 35 years and again by 45; -90% of women with cervical disease receive treatment. Eliminating cervical cancer, the 4th most common form of cancer among women worldwide, is possible. During #CervicalCancer Awareness Month, I call on countries to bolster more initiatives to achieve the 90–70–90 targets.

"We know what is needed: vaccination, screening, and treatment delivered together. The challenge is no longer about what to do. It's about how fast, how fairly, how far we are willing to go. No woman should die from a preventable disease" @BarangX @DrNonoSimelela @gabbystern
No woman should die from a disease we know how to prevent and treat. In 2018, @WHO made a global call to action to eliminate cervical cancer. We have the tools and know how to stop this painful and dehumanizing disease: vaccination, screening, and treatment—delivered together.
