A cervical cancer prevention and control program comprises an organized set of activities aimed at preventing and reducing morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer. The program provides a plan of action with details on what work is to be done, by whom and when, as well as information about what means or resources will be used to implement the program. The achievement of the program is assessed periodically using a set of measurable indicators. The goal of any comprehensive cervical cancer prevention and control program is to reduce the burden of cervical cancer by reducing human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, detecting and treating cervical pre-cancer lesions, and providing timely treatment and palliative care for invasive cancer. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in any health program is conducted to ensure that the processes and systems are developed and adhered to in such a way that the deliverables are of good quality and maximize the benefits to the target population.
