| Sumario: | Cervical Cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, worldwide. It accounts for 600,000 new cases per year, and 340,000 deaths globally (WHO 2020 data). It causes a lot of maladies and suffering for women, in the age group of 30–60 years, especially in the poor community of developing countries. Cervical cancer is a great public health problem and is a cause of grave concern for the health system in Low-Middle-Income Countries—LMIC. But cervical cancer is amenable for early detection and successful treatment of precancer stages. Human Papilloma Virus—HPV vaccines offer a high level of primordial prevention, against cervical cancer. Therefore, the World Health Organization, in 2018, has called for “Elimination of Cervical Cancer by 2030.” The objective is to reduce the incidence rate of cervical cancer to below 4/100,000, by the year 2030. This leads to many “Neo Challenges” and also opens the door for “Next Gen Solutions”. The author, with vast experiences in his Cervical Cancer Screening Projects of IARC/ WHO, at Tamil Nadu, India, during 2000–2007, advocates a strategy called “TIT for TAT—The Community Competency model of Raj©.” |
