🌍 The World Health Organization (WHO) has an ambitious and achievable plan to eliminate cervical cancer as a global public health problem. Here’s the timeline and strategy: 2020: The WHO launched the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer. The goal? To reduce cases to fewer than 4 per 100,000 women per year. 🎯 2030 Targets: By this milestone year, every country should aim to achieve: ✅ 90% of girls fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by age 15 ✅ 70% of women screened for cervical cancer with a high-performance test by age 35 and again by age 45 ✅ 90% of women diagnosed with cervical disease receiving treatment 🔬 What It Means: If we can achieve these targets, cervical cancer could be virtually eliminated within the next century! It’s not just a dream—it’s a reality within our grasp, thanks to advancements in vaccines, screenings, and treatments. 💡 How You Can Help: ✔️ Vaccinate your children against HPV at age 9-12 ✔️ Get screened regularly for cervical cancer ✔️ Spread awareness and advocate for access to vaccines and screenings worldwide Together, we can create a future where cervical cancer is a thing of the past!❤️ • • • • • #EndCervicalCancer #HPVAwareness #CervicalHealth #HPV #hpvvaccine #WHO #healthmatters #vaccineswork #GlobalHealth World Health Organization

🌟 January: A Fresh Start and a Time for Awareness 🌟 Happy New Year to all! As we step into 2025, let’s embrace this new chapter with hope, resilience, and purpose. January isn’t just a time to set goals and reflect, it’s also Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, a time to educate, support, and encourage action for better health outcomes worldwide. Why Cervical Cancer Awareness Matters Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable cancers when detected early. Yet, it remains a significant health challenge, particularly in low-resource settings. Each year, over 600,000 women are diagnosed, and sadly, more than 300,000 women lose their lives to this disease. The good news? With proper prevention, vaccination, and early detection, we can save countless lives. Key Facts to Know: • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, but vaccines like the HPV vaccine are up to 90% effective in preventing it. • Routine screenings such as Pap smears and HPV testing can catch abnormalities early when treatment is most effective. • Leading a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, eating well, and practicing safe sex also reduces risk. How You Can Take Action: • Get vaccinated. If you’re eligible or have loved ones who are, consult your doctor about the HPV vaccine. • Encourage screenings. Support and remind the women in your life to schedule regular check-ups. • Spread awareness. Use your platform to share this critical information and reduce stigma around women’s health. Together, we can contribute to the WHO’s goal of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health issue by 2030. As we move forward into this new year, let’s carry this spirit of awareness into every aspect of our lives. Let’s prioritize health both our own and the well-being of those around us. Let’s build communities that are informed, compassionate, and proactive. Here’s to a year of growth, action, and collaboration! Whether in health, personal goals, or professional aspirations, let’s strive to make 2025 a year to remember. Let’s make it count for ourselves and for others. Feel free to share your thoughts, goals, or initiatives for Cervical Cancer Awareness Month and the new year in the comments. Let’s keep the conversation going! #CervicalCancerAwareness #HPVAwareness #NewYear2025 #HealthMatters #TakeAction

💜 Cervical Health Awareness Month: A Time to Take Action January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about cervical cancer and the importance of early detection and prevention. Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer when caught early. Yet, it continues to affect thousands of women every year. Regular screenings and vaccinations against HPV (human papillomavirus) are critical tools in reducing the impact of this disease. By staying informed and prioritizing regular check-ups, we can work together to ensure more women lead healthy, empowered lives. 📚 Learn more about cervical cancer, its prevention, and early detection: WHO: https://lnkd.in/giNf8aTQ Canadian Cancer Society: https://lnkd.in/gVAUPTTh At Trimedic, we are committed to advancing women's health and supporting initiatives that empower individuals to take control of their health.

Today, Eve hosted a parliamentary event in Scotland, convened by MSD, to bring patients, health policy makers and MSPs together to affirm both the commitment to the elimination of cervical cancer and agree the steps we all need to make to get there. This is a cancer – the only one – where we know what causes nearly all cases (HPV) and we know how to prevent it (HPV vaccination and cervical screening). How amazing is that? 300 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in Scotland every year. This is 300 too many. And Scotland has the highest cervical cancer death rates in the UK. Elimination would have a profound impact on women’s health and society as a whole. A race worth taking part in. Like other parts of the UK, health inequalities can be clearly seen in both vaccination uptake and screening attendance. To eliminate this disease, we need to focus on those people who are under-screened or who have never been screened. This group is made up of a number of communities with different challenges and needs which we need to address – those affected by sexual trauma, disability, or with barriers to communications and without the tailored information they require (in their own language, in easy read, that addresses their personal concerns). Scotland is the only UK nation that has hit the 90% HPV vaccination target (in S4 girls, 2022/23) – but the most recent data shows this has slipped. Government research has also shown that that no cervical cancer cases have been detected in women who were fully vaccinated at age 12-13, since HPV vaccination was introduced in Scotland in 2008. The foundations are in place to reach elimination. The challenge now is replicating this success across the prevention pathway, all three areas - HPV vaccination, cervical screening and the treatment pathway. At Eve, we know the tools to reach cervical cancer elimination already exist: the task is for all of us, in partnership, to bring them to every individual who needs them. With focus, intention, scaling up and tailoring. You can read our CEO, Athena's, blog on our website: https://bit.ly/3ZDDFNF #HPV #CervicalCancer #CervicalScreening #CancerPolicy #ScottishParliament

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️ 🌎 Cervical cancer is on the path to becoming the first cancer ever eliminated through prevention! The World Health Organization (WHO), alongside United Nations agencies, is leading the charge with the Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative—a global effort to end this deadly disease. 🩺 Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide, claiming 350,000 lives in 2022. 💉 HPV vaccination is critical, as types 16 and 18 cause 90% of cases. WHO’s goal is to vaccinate 90% of girls aged 9-14 to prevent new infections.

Still wondering how this has not yet been addressed in any media. Cervical cancer is becoming a silent threat to women's health, yet it's one of the most preventable cancers. During my recent session at Dr. Mehta's Hospital, I had the opportunity to highlight on this critical issue and its growing impact. You never know, -Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in India. - Every year, over 1.2 lakh new cases are diagnosed, and nearly 67,000 women lose their lives to this disease. But regular screening could reduce these numbers by nearly 80% but awareness remains low. In my talk, I emphasized the importance of early detection through Pap smears and HPV testing, along with timely HPV vaccinations. Education and preventive measures can go a long way in saving lives. Every woman deserves a life free of fear and full of possibilities. And every woman you know needs to hear this today. Repost with your community. PS. For fertility awareness speech requests, DM me, we'll discuss. #cervicalcancerawareness #womenhealth #publichealth

Did you know that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—and yet, it still takes a life every two minutes? Why? Because awareness is still too low. January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s time we talk about it like it matters—because it does. This isn’t just another health campaign; it’s a call to action to prioritize regular screenings, advocate for HPV vaccinations, and break the silence around women’s health. At PRIUS BRAND & BUSINESS Partners, we took this mission personally. This month, we partnered with some incredible clients to amplify stories that matter: ✨ A survivor’s journey, Healthcare innovation, Public awareness campaigns reaching communities where awareness is desperately needed, one impactful campaign at a time.✨ “Prevention starts with awareness. Awareness starts with us.” This isn’t just a women’s issue—it’s a everyone’s issue. So, whether it’s scheduling your own check-up, encouraging a loved one, or simply sharing this post, every small step matters. Let’s make this month more than a hashtag. Let’s make it a movement. Because every two minutes is too often.

In recognition of European Week of Cervical Cancer Prevention, we are dedicated to raising awareness about HPV-related cancers and the importance of prevention. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection, and while many individuals clear it from their systems naturally, some may face significant health risks, including cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases. This week, let’s come together to emphasize the importance of education, vaccination, and regular screenings. Talking to healthcare professionals can provide vital information on how to protect oneself and others against HPV and its potential consequences. Join us in spreading the word and empowering individuals to take proactive steps for their health. Together, we can help reduce the impact of cervical cancer and promote a healthier future for everyone. 💚 #CervicalCancerPrevention #HPVAwareness #PublicHealth #Education #VaccinationMatters MSD Romania
