Manila City Hall CerviQ Participant Registration 1

CERVIQ – MANILA CITY HALL – MSD
CERVICAL HEALTH PARTICIPANT REGISTRATION

In line with the celebration of the National Cervical Cancer Awareness month of May, CerviQ along with the Manila City Hall Personnel Section, Merck Sharpe, and Dohme, and other partners shall hold a five-day (May 2 to 6, 2002 at Universidad de Manila) CerviQ cervical health awareness and screening using the FIRST ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE colposcope that can detect cervical precancer, in up to 93% sensitivity and 89% specificity.

BUT WHY CERVICAL CANCER?

Cervical Cancer ranks the second most common in women in the Philippines. About 4088 Filipino women die from this disease annually, or roughly 11 women per day. According to the World Health Organization, Cervical Cancer is the ONLY CANCER that can be entirely preventable through vaccination and screening.

Australia will be the first country set to eliminate this disease by 2035. This declining number of cases is primarily due to its active National Cervical Screening and HPV Vaccination Program.

In one report released by the World Health Organization, only one (1%) percent of all Filipino women aged 30 to 50 years old underwent cervical screening in 2019. In contrast, only 5% of the young adult population received complete vaccination.

The World Health Organization recommends each country achieve: 90% of girls receive HPV vaccination by the age of 15 and 70% of women aged 30 to 50 receive screening.
