In her presentation entitled "The Silent Killer: Cervical Cancer," Nida explained that "Cervical cancer is currently ranked 2nd as the cancer with the highest prevalence in Indonesia, and every hour there are two Indonesian women who died from cervical cancer."
Nida continued by explaining the HPV vaccination program in Indonesia, HPV vaccination recommendations, and explaining the preparations before vaccination.
Health Talk was closed by conducting cervical cancer screening with urine and HPV vaccination for several BAPETEN employees. This activity is expected to provide accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand information on the importance of regular screening and can encourage active participation in screening and vaccination programs for prevention/early detection of cervical cancer, and it is hoped that the incidence of cervical cancer can be suppressed and the lives of many women can be saved, especially in the BAPETEN environment.
