WHO's global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer, launched in 2020, sets three targets for 2030: 90% of girls fully vaccinated against HPV by age 15, 70% of women screened with a high-performance test by 35 and again by 45, and 90% of women identified with cervical disease receiving treatment. AJCR's sample issue includes a synthetic study of HPV self-sampling in Ibadan, one of the approaches services are testing to reach the screening target.
