The National Policy and Strategy for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer 2023-2028 adopts the current 2022 WHO global strategic recommendations of 90:70:90 targets for cervical cancer elimination in Sierra Leone. The interventions outlined for cervical cancer prevention, treatment and elimination are integral to reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for health (SDG 3) and gender equality (SDG 5). Thirteen policies have been formulated that are key to guiding the development of strategies specific to the ecosystem of Sierra Leone. The policies and strategies adhere to the public health approaches of primary, secondary and tertiary preventive interventions across the life course of women.
