Cervical Cancer Awareness Month is observed every January to raise awareness of cervical cancer, its prevention and the importance of early detection.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Regular screening can help detect changes at an early stage, while vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) can significantly reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer.
Throughout the month, organisations and communities around the world share information about cervical cancer prevention, screening and treatment, highlighting the importance of access to appropriate healthcare and reliable information.
Cervical Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to promote greater awareness and support efforts towards preventing cervical cancer and reducing inequalities in cancer prevention and care.
