January's Cervical Health Awareness Month brings attention to cervical cancer and its lethal perpetrator, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV strains 16 and 18 cause most cervical cancers.

Globally, cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common cancer in women. Staggeringly, in 2020, the disease was responsible for roughly 604,000 diagnoses and caused 342,000 deaths.

Ipokrate believes that regular screenings and early detection can help us overcome this disease.
