This is coming as part of the global effort to commemorate the 2022 World Cervical Day. The multisectoral collaboration is in response to the call by the World Health Organisation, WHO, for an intensified global effort to “Eliminate Cervical Cancer.” Meanwhile, the George Kerry Life Foundation in collaboration with Beacon Premium Solutions Limited, communications Partner has flagged off the 2022 public sensitisation and medical outreach. The event which was held through a virtual press briefing to mobilise public awareness with the theme: “War Cry: Last Mile Campaign on Cervical Cancer”, is designed as multisectoral advocacy and medical outreach which targets 10 million people with key messaging on basic healthcare tips for early detection, prevention and treatment of the disease within the demographic segment of vulnerable women.
