Didactics-How to Eliminate Cervical Caner in LMIC by 2030

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, it is highlighted that cervical cancer is a preventable disease, but it remains the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, leading to substantial deaths and new cases. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set a goal to eliminate cervical cancer globally by 2030, known as the 90-70-90 target. This target involves achieving 90% HPV vaccine coverage for girls by age 15, 70% of women being screened for cervical cancer by age 35, and 90% treatment coverage for identified cases. However, there are disparities in starting points among different countries. Strategies discussed include increasing HPV vaccination coverage, utilizing HPV self-collection, and implementing the cluster concept for screening and vaccination. Attention is also needed for special populations such as women living with HIV or sexual and gender minorities. Strong global collaboration is essential in achieving the goal of eliminating cervical cancer worldwide. (Word count: 151)
