The National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC) report has revealed that 3,400 lives are lost each year to cervical cancer, a disease caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
HPV is a virus that spreads easily through contact, including sexual contact.
There are over 200 types of HPV, with some causing genital warts and others leading to various forms of cancer.
According to NSDCC reports, cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death despite the introduction of the HPV vaccine in 2019.
