IGCS ACCESS - Accelerating Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategies Symposium

Description

The first regional symposia of the IGCS ACCESS initiative—Accelerating Cervical Cancer Elimination Strategies Symposium— was held in Cape Town at the 2025 IGCS Annual Global Meeting. This symposium (ACCESS Africa) focused on national and regional strategies for African countries, gathering local stakeholders.

The symposium brought together country representatives, clinicians, policymakers, and partners to advance coordinated national action across the full care continuum—HPV vaccination, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care—while addressing fragmented and siloed efforts. Through shared learning and cross-country dialogue, ACCESS Africa served as a powerful unifying session for local and international stakeholders to discuss the development and implementation of national cervical cancer elimination plans aligned with the 90:70:90 targets by 2030.
