By the end of 2025, the lifesaving HPV vaccine will be available in countries where 89% of global cervical cancer cases currently occur. Multiple studies from around the world demonstrate how incredibly effective this vaccine truly is:

Remarkable impact: there were no reported cases of #cervicalcancer among women in Scotland who received the #HPV vaccine at the age of 12–13 in the 12 years following vaccination. Here’s a look at multiple studies from around the world that show that #VaccinesWork to

In 2023, @Gavi and partners launched an ambitious campaign to protect 86 million girls against the leading cause of cervical cancer. I'm proud to announce that this target has been surpassed ahead of schedule, preventing more than 1 million deaths: https://t.co/fMLMxJpLCW

Every two minutes, a woman dies from #cervicalcancer. Thanks to an ambitious campaign launched by Gavi and partners, ~86 million girls in lower-income countries are now protected against the leading cause of #cervicalcancer, preventing >1 million deaths: https://t.co/jqu2VckX9U

Since 2014, an estimated 86 million girls in lower income countries have received the HPV vaccine through Gavi support. By the end of 2025, HPV vaccination will be available in the countries where most cervical cancer cases occur. It is a turning point for a disease that has

Canada has lost its measles-free status in the wake of a measles outbreak that has infected thousands of people over the past year. What is fuelling this rise in cases? https://t.co/n6vV9MrJNM Via @ConversationUS

@UNICEF @gatesfoundation @WHO As Professor Isa Abubakar says, “solarising hospitals is the best.” Read more about the dramatic impact solar power has had on hard-to-reach and underserved communities in Kano State:

@UNICEF @gatesfoundation @WHO This consistent power supply has not only improved the working conditions and morale of health workers, it’s been a game-changer for building trust within the community. Parents are now assured that vaccines will be available and administered on time.

Immunisation coverage has been hampered across the state by an erratic power supply and frequent outages. With support from @UNICEF, @GatesFoundation, @WHO and @Gavi, the Kano State Government is tackling these barriers to boost vaccine coverage and reach zero-dose children.

🔋Powering clinics, transforming health services! The 28 healthcare centres in Kano, northwestern Nigeria, that have gone solar are reporting: ✅Uninterrupted immunisation sessions ✅Reduced vaccine wastage ✅Increased confidence in vaccines ✅A safer, more efficient
