Okonjo-Iweala Makes a case for Gavi

Discussing public-private partnership solutions to non-communicable diseases in Africa. What role can the private sector play? Gavi, a public, private, civil society partnership supports HPV vaccines for girls in order to prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer as adults.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world, with 530,000 diagnosed cases every year, resulting in 266,000 deaths worldwide. The vast majority of these deaths – around 85 percent – happen in poor countries. Let’s support @Gavi to immunize our girls!
