Cervical cancer still remains the fourth most common cancer, affecting women worldwide with large geographic variations in cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates. There exist vast disparities in cervix cancer control and prevention efforts globally. The present review addresses the current developments in cervical cancer prevention and control across both high-income countries and low-middle income countries and attempts to identify new strategies that might help address the gaps in cervical cancer care disparities globally. ⋯ Efforts directed toward cervix cancer prevention and early detection for improvements in cervical cancer outcomes of incidence and mortality have to be proportionately matched by access to acceptable standards of cancer care.
