Historical Background & Significance

Annual: November 17

International public health observance commemorating the World Health Organization's landmark 90-70-90 elimination strategy to eradicate cervical cancer within a century.

On November 17, 2020, following an historic resolution by the World Health Assembly, the World Health Organization launched the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem. This marked the first time in human history that 194 nations committed to eliminating a specific cancer. The strategy outlines the '90-70-90 targets' to be met by 2030: 90% of girls fully vaccinated with HPV vaccine by age 15, 70% of women screened with high-performance tests by ages 35 and 45, and 90% of women identified with cervical disease receiving proper treatment. Monuments across continents light up in teal to champion universal access to life-saving prevention.
