Image We are proud to announce that the International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics (IJGO), FIGO’s official scientific journal, has released an open access Special Issue on the Elimination of Cervical Cancer. Earlier this year, we released an updated statement on the elimination of this largely preventable disease, which called for our Member Societies to collectively commit to solving this issue by 2030. This free-to-view issue contains Review Articles from various countries on topics such as the diagnostic accuracy of HPV tests, a number of Clinical Articles, as well as a Special Communication article on girl-centred HPV campaigns. On 17 th November, the World Health Organization launched its global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer, marking the historic call to action from WHO Director General, Dr Tedros, two years earlier. The strategy asks ‘Why cervical cancer, why now?’ and calls for collective action to improve the accessibility of treatments, as we already have the knowledge of what works in preventing the disease.
