As we engage in African Vaccination Week, let us remember that HPV vaccines are freely available in Kenya for girls aged 9-14. The fight against #cervicalcancer will be won if we accomplish the World Health Organization (WHO) goal of 90-70-90

According to a 2022 study by NCBI, cervical cancer is the top cause of cancer deaths in Kenya, claiming an estimated 3200 lives as of 2020. Let's prioritize vaccinating girls aged 10-14 to protect them from this disease! #CervicalHealth

In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a global initiative to eliminate #cervicalcancer which set targets for three important strategies: HPV vaccination, cervical cancer screening and treatment. To achieve elimination, by 2030, 90% of girls need to be vaccinated..
The National Cancer Control Strategy 2023-2027 by Ministry of Health is crucial for government & NGOs working in cancer control. It guides on interventions & partnerships, shaping our fight against cancer & enhancing quality of life #KILELEChallenge

Contributing factors for head and neck cancers.
Alcohol, tobacco (secondhand smoke), and HPV infections are key factors. Combined use of tobacco & alcohol escalates risk. Other factors like occupational exposure, radiation, and genetic disorders play a role too.
