Cervical cancer, preventable by HPV vaccination and treatable with screening, kills a woman every two minutes, but global efforts aim to eliminate it by 2030.
Cervical cancer kills a woman every two minutes worldwide, with 660,000 new cases and 350,000 deaths annually, primarily due to persistent HPV infection.
The disease is preventable through HPV vaccination for girls aged 9 to 14 and treatable with early screening starting at age 30 (25 for women with HIV).
Despite global efforts, unequal access to care drives high mortality in regions like sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, and Southeast Asia.
In 2020, 194 countries adopted a strategy to eliminate cervical cancer by 2030, aiming for 90% vaccination, 70% screening, and 70% treatment rates, which could prevent 74 million cases and 62 million deaths by 2120.
