Rotary Club of Madras Takes the Lead in Fighting Cervical Cancer

Did you know that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers? Yet, it still claims the lives of thousands of women every year. The Rotary Club of Madras, a leading humanitarian organization, is determined to change this tragic statistic. They’ve launched a groundbreaking awareness program to educate women and empower them to take control of their health.

Why is this important? Cervical cancer is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. While most HPV infections clear up on their own, some types can lead to cancer. Here’s the good news: regular screenings and the HPV vaccine can significantly reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer.
