Each January, we recognize World Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness and enhancing prevention of this largely preventable disease. Cervical cancer, originating from abnormal cell growth in the cervix, remains a significant health issue worldwide.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, approximately 604,127 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer.
💜But there's good news: cervical cancer is largely preventable through regular screening and vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV), the significant risk factor.
