𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 is one of the most preventable cancers, yet too many women are still diagnosed late.

At 𝐎𝐤𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐣𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞, we believe awareness leads to action, and action saves lives.

Regular screening and early care can detect changes before cancer develops, giving women the chance to protect their health and their future.

💚 Cervical health matters at every stage of life.
💚 Screening is simple, confidential, and lifesaving.
💚 Prevention starts with informed choices and regular check-ups.

This January, we encourage women, and families, to prioritise cervical health and speak to a healthcare professional about screening options.

Early detection saves lives.

With 2026 just starting, prioritise your breast and cardiovascular health and come see our doctors for a referral if you have not had a mammogram recently.
