Every 2 minutes a woman dies of cervical cancer, with a total of over 300,000 deaths per year.
These deaths are entirely avoidable with the right interventions. The HPV vaccine has been revolutionary in protecting the lives of women and girls against cervical cancer – preventing 90% of all cases.
But there is huge inequality in vaccine access. Girls in middle and low-income countries are not able to access it due to financial constraints, limited healthcare resources, or simply a lack of awareness.
