She at the same time hailed the government’s efforts to avail HPV vaccine for young girls saying this is a great milestone in fighting this preventable disease.
“We welcome the Government’s gesture to fight all types of cancer and more specifically cervical cancer which we have been focusing on in the month of January. We are urging all girls and women to embrace screening at an early stage on order to avoid it. They should also avoid multiple sex partners saying it’s a predisposing factor.”
