In 2020, in Europe, there were
58,169 cervical cancer cases
and 25,989 deaths.

Incidence and mortality rates vary widely across
Europe, with age-standardized incidence rates
ranging from less than 5 cases per 100,000 women
to above 25 cases per 100,000 women and
age-standardised mortality rates from 1
death per 100,000 women to 10
deaths per 100,000 women.
HPV vaccination coverages vary
considerably across Europe
Cervical cancer can be prevented by the HPV
vaccination, however HPV vaccination coverages
vary considerably across Europe from less
than 5% to more than 90%.
18 European countries and 34
partner organisations working
together to increase HPV vaccination coverage
specially in regions with low coverage and to
optimize data collection to monitor HPV vaccination
coverage and the impact of vaccination.

About PERCH

PERCH Kick – OFF Meeting – December 2022 – Brussels

The PERCH (PartnERship to Contrast HPV) project involves 18 European countries and 34 partner organizations who will work together to promote HPV vaccination in Europe and especially in areas where vaccination coverage is not sufficient. Thanks to a data collection system, monitoring will be carried out capable of constantly verifying the level of vaccination coverage against HPV. 

Project objectives

  • Improve capacities of Member States to plan and implement HPV vaccination campaigns by sharing knowledge and experience.
  • Improve data and monitoring system on HPV vaccination and HPV screening.
  • Improve knowledge and awareness on HPV-related disease and prevention in specific target groups (adolescent girls and boys).
  • Improve knowledge and abilities for healthcare professionals in HPV vaccine communication.
