Global cervical cancer elimination: quantifying the status, progress, and gaps

Major inequalities persist in CC vaccination and screening across 194 countries, and access to these services is limited in most LMICs.

We also found that tertiary prevention was achieved in most LMICs, but the indicator-reported annual opioid consumption in oral morphine equivalents indirectly illustrates the under-utilisation of cancer treatment services.
