Keynote speech at the Launch of the Global HPV Consortium

I was pleased to speak at the launch of the Global HPV Consortium in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia earlier today.

“1,5 million women died from cervical cancer in the last five years… Without decisive action, another 1.5 million women will die over the next five years too…As a lifelong advocate for women’s health and empowerment, the prospect of ending deaths from cervical cancer which we can prevent is very exciting. We can save the lives of many women and also prevent the trauma of deaths from cervical cancer on families.”
