01:22These tools have enabled some rich countries to drive cervical cancer to low levels.
01:28If we can do this in any country, we must be able to do it in all countries.
01:36It is simply unjust to not make the same services accessible to all girls and women, regardless of where they live or who they are.
01:49Our challenge is not primarily one of technology.
01:54It is one of equity.
01:57That is why the 90-70-90 targets are so important.
02:04In low- and lower-middle-income countries alone, 250,000 deaths can be prevented by 2030 if the 90-70-90 strategy is implemented.
02:20We ask you, the research community, to please join us as advocates for the cause.
02:27The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many essential health services and is likewise a risk to services for cervical cancer.
02:39It is vital that countries ensure routine services such as vaccination and cancer screening continue with the appropriate safety precautions.
02:49The WHO has developed guidelines for countries on how to ensure continuity of essential services during the pandemic.
03:00Dear friends, each case of cervical cancer not only affects the women who are inflicted by the disease, but also their families and communities who lose them.
03:13We have a unique opportunity to end the suffering of women from this painful, onerous, and stigmatizing disease.
03:26We know how to stop this disease.
03:30Together, we must make sure all girls and women benefit from the tools and the knowledge to make cervical cancer history.
