Lebanon is taking important steps to reduce the burden of cervical cancer by introducing the HPV vaccine into its national immunization program.

The initiative focuses on developing a comprehensive, evidence-based HPV Vaccine Introduction Plan, establishing a procurement and financing framework, and updating immunization training materials and e-learning courses. These efforts aim to ensure a coordinated, phased, and sustainable rollout that aligns with WHO recommendations and regional best practices.
