🌸 September is Cervical Screening Awareness Month! 🌸

Every year, around 180 people in Aotearoa are diagnosed with cervical cancer. Shockingly, 85% of them have never been screened or have not had regular screening.

Detecting cervical cancer early with cervical screening gives you a greater chance at a cure, and can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future. ⁠

And now, with the HPV self-test, it’s easier, more private, and just as effective.

If you or a loved one is due or overdue for screening, make a booking now. You can visit your GP, nurse, Family Planning, sexual health clinic, or a mobile/community health clinic. 🩷
