Cervical Cancer Prevention Policy Atlas

Cervical Cancer Prevention Atlas 2020

The Atlas clearly illustrates the issue of healthcare inequality across Europe with eastern and southern countries lagging behind in cervical cancer prevention policies, which unfortunately results in a disproportionately heavy burden of cervical cancer incidence and mortality in those regions.

HPV Prevention Policy Atlas 2023

HPV-related cervical cancer is a preventable and curable disease. Yet every year, over 25,000 women die from cervical cancer in Europe. The Cervical Cancer Prevention Policy Atlas scores 46 countries throughout geographical Europe on national cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination programmes as well as online information to highlight political will to prevent cervical cancer in Europe.

  • Every year, over 25,000 women die from cervical cancer in Europe
  • HPV vaccine almost 100% effective in in preventing the persistent HPV infections that cause cervical cancer
  • All 46 countries need to do more to put an end to preventable deaths
  • Belgium, Denmark, Ireland and the UK are the policy champions
  • Azerbaijan and Belarus worst performing countries
