Dear women, your health is your strength and your future.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women. But did you know it can often be prevented? Early screening and timely treatment can save lives.
Why is this important? Cervical cancer usually develops slowly and can often be detected at an early stage with a simple cervical screening test, such as a Pap test.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV vaccination and regular screening can significantly reduce the risk.
Early stages often cause no symptoms, so regular check-ups are not just a recommendation — they are essential.
What can you do?
See your gynaecologist regularly, at least once a year.
Have cervical screening and HPV testing as recommended by your doctor.
Support your overall health with a balanced diet, regular physical activity and by avoiding smoking.
Remember: your health is in your hands. Do not put off your appointment. A check-up today could protect your health tomorrow.
