In a pioneering effort to put an end to the deadly cervical cancer, which kills 12 Filipino women every day, a one-of-a-kind vaccination roadshow was launched in the District 1 of Quezon City to combat human papillomavirus .
Quezon City District 1 Councilor Charm Ferrer, who is cervical cancer survivor herself, led the launching and underscored the importance of the fight against HPV.“Sobrang hirap po magkaroon ng cervical cancer. Nag-undergo po ako ng six chemotherapies and 32 radiation therapies. Now as a public official, it is my duty to ensure the health and well-being of my constituents. With this landmark initiative, we will ensure that all our adolescent girls in Quezon City will be vaccinated.
“Napakapalad natin at may ganitong proyekto para sa mgakabataan para makaiwas sa cervical cancer. Siguro kung meron lang nito noong mga 80s or 90s, baka konti lang ang maysakitng cervical cancer na naging dahilan ng kanilang kamatayan, isa sa kanila ang panganay kong kapatid na babae,” said Kagawad Marissa Reyes, Barangay Bahay Toro Health Committee Chairperson.
The HPV vaccination roadshow supports the Department of Health’s fight against cervical cancer, which calls for collective action to protect every Filipino woman by making healthcare services and vaccines accessible to all communities.
