Malawi, Tanzania and Zimbabwe have joined the growing list of African countries to introduce the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine into their routine immunisation programme. Other African countries to do this include Uganda, Rwanda, Botswana, Mauritius, Seychelles and South Africa. The vast majority of Cervical Cancer deaths are now preventable through safe and effective HPV vaccines Cervical Cancer is on track to overtake childbirth as the developing world’s biggest killer of women. It takes the lives of 266,000 women every year and this number is rising, with projections suggesting this figure could hit 416,000 by 2035 if we do nothing to tackle it. Nigeria must as a matter of necessity introduce the HPV vaccine into its routine immunisation programme. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in the country. What can you do? Lend your voice to this clarion call. Talk about it with your friends, family and more importantly your elected representatives. Too many of our women are dying from this preventable disease.
