India's southern state of Karnataka has taken what one health official calls a "significant step forward" in the fight against cervical cancer with an ambitious plan to cut the number of women dying from the disease by a third in the next five years, the BBC reports.
According to a press release, theccelerating Cervical Cancer Elimination (CCE) initiative, launched Thursday, aims to "significantly reduce cervical cancer incidence through vaccination, screening, and preventive care, positioning Karnataka as a model state in the fight against this disease."
The initiative calls for all women between the ages of 15 and 69 to be vaccinated against the disease, which is the No.
1 cancer killer of women in India, the AP reports.
"While we have made great strides in screening and building capacity for cervical cancer prevention, we must now focus on ensuring that young girls are vaccinated, securing a healthier future for the community," Dr. Dinesh Gundu Rao, the state's minister for health and family welfare, said at the launch event.
He said the state plans to " standardize training and bring quality care to every corner of Karnataka," the Press Trust of India reports.
