VAX 2 STOP CANCER’s Post

🌍 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
