Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the WHO, discusses cervical cancer prevention and the global strategy to eliminate the disease this century.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer that can be prevented by HPV vaccination, early detection and effective management.

Still, cervical cancer remains one of the greatest threats to women’s lives. Close to 600,000 women are diagnosed with the disease every year and more than half die.

We must act now to vaccinate young girls in every country against HPV, ensure cervical screening is available to women everywhere, and deliver lifesaving cervical cancer treatment to the women who need it.

In recognition of this, WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made a global call for action on 19th May 2018 towards the elimination of cervical cancer.

In this extended interview with Dr. Tedros, he explains why “failure to eliminate cervical cancer isn’t an option.” And calls on the international community to help less affluent regions prevent and eliminate the disease.

The Conquering Cancer Campaign is a global communications initiative celebrating every effort to eliminate cervical cancer around the world. Because a woman’s chance of surviving cervical cancer shouldn’t depend on where she resides.

Join the Conquering Cancer Campaign today and help us show leaders everywhere that eliminating cervical cancer is an achievable goal in every country.
