We have the tools to eliminate #CervicalCancer.

But still, 350,000 women continue to die from the disease every year.

I urge leaders to commit to eliminating cervical cancer and ensuring women’s and girls' right to dignified, quality care.

I thank the governments of Colombia and Spain for organizing the first International Forum on Global Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative. My thanks as well to key partners on this life-saving journey.

A dose of an #HPV vaccine and new screening and treatment tools can make #CervicalCancer history.

Still, the lives of too many women are cut short by this preventable disease depending on where they live.
