• Benefits of HPV Vaccination
• The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing
  HPV-related cancers and genital warts.
  Vaccination is recommended for both males and
  females between the ages of 9 and 45.
• HPV Vaccine and Cervical Cancer
• The huge burden of cervical cancer mortality,
  especially in the low- and middle-income
  countries, can be greatly attributed to decades
  of neglect by the global health community.
  Nevertheless, with the recent increase in global
  advocacy for womens health, the World Health
  Organization (WHO) devised as strategy to achieve
  its goal for 2030. By 2030 the WHO strives to
  achieve the following

• 90 of girls (15 years of age) are to be fully
  vaccinated with HPV vaccine.
• 70 of women must be screened using a
  high-performance test by 35 years of age and
  again by 45 years of age.
• 90 of women suffering from cervical disease are
  treated, which should include
• 90 of women with precancer treated.
• 90 of women with invasive cancer managed.
• Through these goals, WHO anticipates for a global
  elimination of cervical cancer, which can be
  defined as an incidence of cases lt 4 per 1,00,000
  women per year globally.
• Role of HPV vaccination in reducing cervical
  cancers
• Low-cost approaches to screening and treating
  cervical cancer precursors
• Development of resource-appropriate management
  guidelines
• Novel approaches to surgical training
• Initiatives to increase global access to
  anti-cancer drugs

• Along with the above factors, the WHO also
  ensures a constant and steady flow of commercial
  availability of prophylactic HPV vaccines which
  also plays an important role in the eradication
  of cervical cancers.
• Among various other factors which prompted the
  initiation of the aforementioned campaign, the
  prime reason included is the slow roll-out of HPV
  vaccination. The other factors could include low
  levels of screening as well as limited access to
  cervical cancer treatment.
