  • National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week
    National Cervical Cancer Awareness Week is here! 04 November 2022 Prevention is in your hands. Did you know, almost all cervical cancers are preventable through regular cervical screening? Cervical screening checks for human papillomavirus (HPV) - a common infection that can lead to abnormal cell changes and is the cause of almost all cervical cancers.
