The proportion of girls 🌍 with access to HPV vaccines has fallen to 13%, from 15% before the #COVID19 pandemic. We call on all countries, all manufacturers of vaccines, tests & treatments, all partners & all civil society to join our effort to make #cervicalcancer history.
A3. It’s not a question of WHETHER to continue #SRH services, but WHEN, WHERE & HOW. These decisions should be based on #COVID19 data, trends of new cases, unmet need for SRH & the capacity & agility to redesign delivery of services. #covidcervixchat
