WHO/ICO (Institut Català d'Oncologia) Information Centre on HPV and Cervical Cancer
The WHO/ICO Information Centre on HPV and Cervical Cancer is developed to accelerate the development and introduction of prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines in countries with the highest burden of cervical cancer and reduce the incidence of this disease and related lesions among women.
