Dr Woo Yin Ling said the award was a testament that Malaysians could achieve more if they worked together.
In a statement today, the ROSE Foundation said Woo had conceptualised and executed an innovative cervical screening programme incorporating human papillomavirus self-sampling, known as Programme ROSE . “Programme ROSE is the culmination of a huge collaborative effort from many Malaysians who believe in the vision of a cervical cancer-free Malaysia,” she said.
It is an initiative of the ROSE Foundation, whose goal is to make Malaysia one of the first countries in the region to be free of cervical cancer, which is the second most common cancer among local women aged below 44.
