🌍 Big news from Geneva! 📸

Last week at the World Health Assembly, WHO member states officially adopted the Resolution on Strengthening Medical Imaging Capacity — a major step forward in the fight against cancer and non-communicable diseases, especially in low- and middle-income countries. 🤝

👏 ESR (@EuESR) is proud to have supported this historic moment alongside the International Society of Radiology (ISR) and global partners. From advocacy to action, this resolution reflects a strong political commitment to make imaging more accessible and fully integrated into national health strategies. 🏥🌐

As #WorldImmunizationWeek closes, @EuropeLiver reminds us that hepatitis B vaccination is both a scientific breakthrough and a human right.

📢 ELPA calls on all stakeholders to fulfil the commitments of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, and to ensure equitable access to vaccination for all communities, especially those most at risk.

#VaccinesWork #HumanlyPossible @EU_Health

[European Cancer Organisation @EuropeanCancer]

Hepatitis B is a leading cause of liver cancer – but it need not be! 👈

Today, join our partners at @Hep_Alliance, in highlighting the value of the hepatitis B vaccine, the world first vaccine that prevents cancer. 💉

It’s safe and effective. And if you haven’t received it – and you’re eligible – get your shot today! ❗

Watch and share this with friends and family. Prevention saves lives. 📣

💬 “I got the HPV vaccine. That’s one less worry!”

To mark #WorldImmunizationWeek 2025, we're proud to share a powerful multilingual video created with our partners at @IPVSociety as part of their "One Less Worry" campaign 📽️

Different voices from across Europe share, in their own language, why they chose to get vaccinated against HPV:

👉 Because when you’re protected, you can focus on living fully.
👉 Because cancer prevention starts with action.
👉 Because vaccination is one less worry for ourselves, and for future generations.

Vaccination is one of the most powerful lifesaving tools that we have.

In this video, @Fondaz_Veronesi reminds us that HPV and hepatitis B vaccines offer proven protection against some of the world’s most common cancers, yet access and uptake remain uneven.

📢 Share this important message. Where there is knowledge, access, and trust, there is protection.

💬 Immunisation for all is humanly possible.

David Winterflood, CEO of @NOMANCampaign, stresses the importance of immunisation for all, regardless of gender.

The momentum generated by the EU’s Beating Cancer Plan demonstrates the remarkable achievements possible when we unite for a common cause.

Let's make sure that more people are shielded from vaccine-preventable diseases like HPV and HepB!

It’s never too late to protect yourself against common, cancer-causing viruses.

If you’ve never been vaccinated against HPV or hepatitis B, you may still be eligible through catch-up vaccination programmes. ✍️

These can be reimbursed or provided free of charge in many countries across Europe.

These vaccines are proven to prevent cervical cancer, liver cancer, and a variety of other cancers. But few adults realise they’re still eligible.

Fact:❗

1️⃣ HPV causes 4,5% of all cancers in men and women globally.

2️⃣ And #HepatitisB causes an estimated 55% of all liver cancer deaths.

👉 But these cancers are highly preventable through vaccination.

Let’s work together. Let’s protect everyone. 🗣️

Today, we hear from @amil__dr, Vice-Chair of ECO’s HPV and Hep B Network, as he shares why equal access to vaccination must be a top priority in Europe’s efforts to eliminate preventable cancers. ✍️

#HPV and #HepB vaccinations are safe and effective, but coverage remains uneven across Europe.

🌍 #WorldImmunizationWeek 2025 starts today!

Vaccines are one of the world’s greatest public health achievements, saving millions of lives every year. 💉

This week, we spotlight the role of vaccination in the fight against cancer:

HPV vaccination can prevent more than six cancers. And hepatitis B vaccination significantly reduces the risk of liver cancer. 👈

Let’s work together to close gaps in vaccination coverage, raise awareness, and ensure no one is left behind.

👉 Follow us from 24 to 30 April for updates, facts, and video messages.
