Over the last months and building on years of normative guidance on cervical cancer, WHO has been working with partners to develop a global strategy and supporting tools towards elimination of cervical cancer.
To build on this momentum, WHO is organizing a stakeholder consultation with participants from Ministries of Health, UN agencies, development partners, and implementing agencies. The draft global strategy will be presented with a view to discussing and agreeing on next steps towards (a) finalization of the strategy towards elimination and (b) formulation of an implementation plan for the global strategy.
Specific objectives of the meeting are as follows:
o To share the proposed definition of elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem
o To share and agree on proposed intermediate goals, targets and indicators towards the goal of elimination
o To present and agree the key elements of the strategy
o To discuss and agree how the strategy will be operationalized;
o To discuss and agree how to ensure coordinated action at the country, regional and global levels.
