𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
- Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer among women globally.
- Nearly 90% of cases and deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
- Regular screening reduces advanced cervical cancer risk by up to 90%.
- HPV vaccination protects against the main cause of cervical cancer.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀:
- Get the HPV vaccine (recommended for girls aged 9-14).
- Follow screening guidelines (begin at age 25; primary HPV test every 5 years or Pap test every 3 years).
- Practice safe sex and avoid smoking.
- Educate family and friends about cervical health.
Together, we can prevent, detect early, and treat cervical cancer to save millions of lives.
