Cervical Cancer is Preventable: Education is Key – Medicaid Cancer Foundation
Medicaid Cancer Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Cervical Cancer is Preventable – Education is Key!
That’s why we took awareness to the next generation! At JSS Garki, we engaged about 100 students in a fun and educational session on cervical cancer prevention, early detection, and healthy choices.
Key Lessons from Dr. Rukkayya’s Talk:
- What is cervical cancer? Understanding how it affects women.
- The HPV connection: A virus (HPV) can cause cervical cancer – but it’s preventable!
- Prevention is power! The HPV vaccine is a game-changer.
- Busting myths! Cervical cancer is not contagious and is not a death sentence.
- Becoming a health advocate: Students were encouraged to share what they learned with their families.
Interactive Q&A Fun!
The students asked brilliant questions like:
- ‘Can boys get HPV too?’
- ‘How can we help our families learn about this?’
Winners got cool prizes for their participation!
The Impact:
The students left inspired and informed, eager to spread awareness within their families. The school administration also emphasized the need for more health education programs in the future!
Together, we are building a Cancer Free Cervix! Let’s keep the awareness growing!”
