A New Health Campaign for Cervical Cancer


A new health campaign called ‘Mission Possible’ is started in Vermont to provide free cervical cancer screening test and HPV vaccinations to boys and girls, for a period of six months. Given the rise of cervical cancer cases throughout the world, there is more need of such healthcare programmes that would benefit common people. These steps are vital to aware more people about the deadly disease.

The HPV vaccine has been very effective in preventing cervical cancer cases in 70 percent of the population. The Health Department buys these vaccines at $360 and then distributes it free to the providers.

Cervical cancer can be deadly, but if screening and treatment is done early, it can be fully cured.  The HPV vaccine acts against specific strains of the HPV (Human papilloma virus) causing cervical cancer. Cervical cancer screening test encompasses detection of cancerous cells in the cervix. Common test are Pap smear test and the new cytology test. If tested positive, one must undergo immediate treatment to prevent further progression of the disease.

Through this immunization programme, health department provides vaccines in age group 9 to 26. The vaccine is given to girls aged 12 and above. It is recommended that women, who usually have high chance of suffering from cervical cancer, should undergo screening on regular basis.   

There is a significant rise in cervical cancer cases in U.S with more women dying from it, than any other form of cancer. In recent years other similar non-profit based organizations like ‘Ground for Health’ in Vermont also provides cervical cancer screening and treatment, and people benefit lot from it.

  1. Natural herbs have treated so many illnesses that drugs and injections can't treat. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were treated of Herpes, HPV HIV/AIDS & STDs, Diabetics , Gonorrhea, Hepatitis, Stomach infections, Chronic pains. etc. by powerful natural herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Herpes for the past years but Dr Chike treated me with his natural herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were treated too believe it or not, but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying powerful natural herbs. Contact Dr on Whats-App number . +233502715551. or you can also contact through his Facebook Page @ Dr Chike Herbal Remedy.
