#CervicalCancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer if caught early.
Regular screening is crucial to detect changes in the cervix that could, if untreated, develop into cancer.

We can create a #CervicalCancer free future!
By 2040, 70 million cases & 62 million deaths can be averted if we increase screening, vaccination & treatment. Cervical cancer deaths will rise by nearly 50% if we don't act.
