The success of the drive to eliminate cervical cancer depends on political will, country-led action and investments, and global solidarity, as well as sustainable and adaptable partnerships. Member States have committed to the attainment of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), leaving no one behind. Eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem is part of honouring this commitment and the many others related to tackling inequities and upholding the right of women and adolescent girls to health throughout their lives, including their sexual and reproductive health. We have the knowledge and the tools to stop women from suffering and dying from this preventable disease. The time is now—for all Member States and development partners to rally behind this strategy to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem. Together, we can make history – it is within our reach!
