In a strong show of collaboration, @WHO and @IARCWHO have launched a free online learning programme through the #WHOAcademy that will help protect more women against #CervicalCancer.

Cervical cancer is the 4th most common form of cancer among women worldwide.

Launched on World Cervical Cancer Elimination Day, the learning programme focused on screening, diagnosis and management of cervical precancer, and is designed for health workers, policy-makers and advocates. 

The programme supports the ground-breaking WHO Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative, which is providing hope to girls and women worldwide that they can live free from the threat of cervical cancer.
