From cervical cancer to HPV elimination in Poland: Local action for national impact

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it continues to place a heavy and unnecessary burden on women in Poland. Poland now stands at a pivotal moment in the fight against HPV-related cancers. Despite one of the highest cervical cancer burdens in the EU, new momentum such as gender-neutral HPV vaccination and stronger national cancer strategies to improved health data systems, create a unique opportunity for change.

This report (white paper) sets out a clear, evidence-based roadmap to move from fragmented pilots to coordinated national action, accelerating progress toward the elimination of cervical cancer and the reduction of all HPV-driven cancers across the life course.

The report was launched in Warsaw, Poland, at the annual conference “Health Care Priorities 2026”.
