Nigeria must get on track for cervical cancer elimination by 2030

Nigeria faces a critical challenge: cervical cancer is now the second most common cancer among its women, despite being preventable. With over 30 new infections daily and 22 women losing their lives, time is running out. <br /><br />The WHO's Global Health Strategy sets ambitious targets for 2030: 90% vaccination for girls, 70% screening for women, and treatment for those diagnosed. While Nigeria has vaccinated millions of girls, a significant screening gap remains for the 40 million women aged 25-64. <br /><br />Medical experts are urging Nigerian women to prioritize cervical cancer screening. They also call on the government to establish dedicated screening centers to make this vital health service more accessible. Let's work together to protect our women and eliminate cervical cancer in Nigeria. <br /><br />#CervicalCancer #NigeriaHealth #WomensHealth #CancerScreening
