One of our current objectives is to support the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer, both in Canada and in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). We have working agreements with health ministries, as well as key leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Guinea, and Mali to implement a course of action to support the WHO’s global strategy to be on the path toward these goals:
- 90% of girls fully vaccinated with the HPV vaccine by age 15 years
- 70% of women screened with a high-performance test by 35 and 45 years of age
- 90% of women identified with cervical disease receive treatment
- 90% of women with pre-cancer treated
- 90% of women with invasive cancer managed
