Cervical cancer is preventable, yet in the Philippines, 12 women still lose their lives to it every day.

In this video, Donna Miranda, Project Officer of the Women’s Cancers portfolio at Jhpiego Philippines, shares how the Centralized Laboratory Model for HPV DNA Screening (CLAMS) is transforming the way we deliver cervical cancer services, proving that partnerships, innovation, and community-based approaches can bridge gaps in access and save lives.

From self-sampling to centralized testing and decentralized treatment, CLAMS shows that eliminating cervical cancer is not just possible. It is within reach when public and private sectors work together.

Because health is a right, and it takes all of us to make it accessible for every woman.

Ang cervical cancer kayang iwasan, kayang agapan!

Mag-signup na sa LIBRENG screening sa April 25, 8AM - 12PM!

Hindi laging may sintomas ang banta ng cervical cancer. At tanging sa regular na pagpapasuri lamang makakasiguro na protektado ka laban dito.

Ang cervical cancer ay komplikasyon dulot ng palagiang impeksyon ng Human Papillomavirus o HPV. Karaniwang virus ang HPV na naipapasa sa pamamagitan ng s*x o skin-to-skin contact. Madalas kayang labanan ng katawan ang virus pero pagdating ng edad 30 pataas, humihina na ang kakayanan ng katawan na labanan ito. Walang sintomas ang HPV infection. Kaya rekomendado ng WHO at DOH ang regular na pagpapasuri kada 3-5 taon para makasieguro.

Ang serbisyong ito ay hatid sa inyo ng DOH, Quezon City Health Department, at Women Workers for Health Empowerment Network (WHEN), sa pakikipagtulungan sa GRAB at GRAB Bikers Community sa pamamahala ng .

Protecting adolescent girls through HPV vaccination is not simply a medical intervention; it is an investment in women’s health across the life course.

When a young girl receives the HPV vaccine today, she carries with her protection that may prevent a life-threatening disease decades later.

Perhaps, this is the quiet power of evidence: when research, policy and community action move together, they help secure a healthier future for the next generation of women.
