In the field of women's health, the Pap smear and the HPV vaccination stand out as

being crucial to the prevention and detection of cervical cancer. GCM's Vice-Chairman

of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Sumiya Fanlo, discusses the importance of these

screening techniques and their wider public health consequences.

Many people believe that Pap smear exams are the most important step in preventing

cervical cancer. Doctor Fanlo highlights their function as a first line of defense, able to

identify anomalies in cervical cells well in advance of their development into malignant

tumors. Pap smears are vital in lowering the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer

because they allow for early detection and intervention.

Dr. Fanlo emphasizes the significance of HPV vaccination in preserving women's health

in addition to Pap tests. Cervical cancer can result from the common sexually

transmitted infection known as HPV, or human papillomavirus. By lowering the virus's

prevalence, HPV vaccination improves community health in addition to offering personal

protection.

The observations made by Dr. Fanlo demonstrate how closely personal health and

communal well-being are related. People can take proactive actions to save themselves

and others from the risk of cervical cancer by giving priority to preventive measures like

HPV vaccination and Pap smear screenings.

As health is the most valuable asset for the human being, GCM is committed to

providing people with the information and tools they need to take action and protect it.

By implementing programs such as HPV vaccination campaigns and Pap smear tests,

the institution hopes to enable people to take charge of their health and ultimately save

lives.
