Abstract
Cervical cancer is the most common form of cancers among females in Bhutan. The Royal Government of Bhutan has achieved the 90–70–90 global milestones towards elimination of cervical cancer. However, challenges remain in improving the quality of services, and addressing sustainability issues. With continued political commitment, dedicated efforts of health professionals and public support, Bhutan is committed in our efforts towards elimination of invasive cervical cancer by 2030, in alignment with the World Health Organization’s global target. This review article presents the efforts, challenges and way forward towards elimination of cervical cancer in Bhutan.
