Eliminating Cervical Cancer

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has highlighted the needless deaths to cervical cancer on World Cancer Day (February 4) and is urging people to mobilise against the killer.  Cervical cancer is still one of the greatest threats to women's health, with a yearly death toll in the hundreds of thousands. This is the grim situation, despite cervical cancer being one of the most "preventable and curable" forms of cancer, according to the WHO, as long as it is "detected early and managed effectively".

WHO is working to eliminate cervical cancer as a global public health problem.
