Awareness Session on Cervical Cancer

In 2020, 194 countries resolved to eliminate cervical cancer for the first time and WHO launched the Global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem. Every year, 300,000 women die from cervical cancer, in low- and middle-income nations. In Pakistan, 14 women die on average per day from cervical cancer. Two globally licensed HPV vaccines have been introduced in Pakistan: a quadrivalent vaccine Gardasil and a bivalent vaccine Cervarix. It is possible to prevent and treat it.
