“For far too long we have overlooked a colossal tragedy: cervical cancer claims a woman’s life every 90 seconds.” 

– Anuradha Gupta

“Women are many times the backbone of the family and the society.” 

– Jenelle Krishnamoorthy

Key takeaways & next steps:

  • Cervical cancer disproportionately affects lower and middle-income countries, with 90% of deaths occurring in these regions. 
  • There is an enormous need for increased awareness about cervical cancer and the importance of prevention. 
  • Building political will and securing sustainable financing are crucial steps to ensuring the success of cervical cancer elimination efforts. 
  • The approach to addressing cervical cancer should be more community-centric, with an emphasis on listening to communities, adapting responses to their needs, and empowering them to make informed choices about their health.
