So thrilled to share our latest article published in HPV World (available in English and Spanish): "Fifteen years of a comprehensive strategy for cervical cancer prevention in Argentina"! 🇦🇷✨ It has been an honor to write this alongside my dear colleagues and friends, @Silvina Arrossi and @Nathalia Katz. It encapsulates years of hard work and shared dreams, made possible by the incredible support of our teams and so many other colleagues and key health stakeholders. The key takeaway? Over the past 15 years, Argentina has become a regional leader by combining HPV vaccination and HPV-based screening with a robust, highly active HPV Reference Laboratory. While we have made extraordinary progress, we now face key challenges regarding sustainability and equity. These experiences highlight the potential and fragility of HPV prevention in middle-income settings, underscoring the need to reprioritize cervical cancer elimination in Argentina. 👉 I highly recommend subscribing to the *HPV World* newsletter—it is a must-read! #PublicHealth #HPVPrevention #CervicalCancer #WomenInScience #Healthcare
