DOH, MSD, Medical Societies Come Together to Prevent Cervical Cancer

The Department of Health (DOH), global pharmaceutical company MSD and medical societies hope to go full circle for this year’s Cervical Cancer Awareness Month in May, and strike directly at the source of cervical cancer—the human papillomavirus or HPV.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in both men and women which causes cervical cancer. According to the World Health Organization, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer afflicting women worldwide with about 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths each year. In the Philippines, an estimated 12 Filipino women die due to cervical cancer each day.

For these reasons, the DOH and MSD, along with medical societies Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS), Society of Gynecologic Oncologists of the Philippines (SGOP) and Philippine Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (PSCPC), continue with their partnership, dubbed as Babae, MahalagaKa!, for the 6^th year of the Cervical Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM) celebration.

Free cervical cancer screening will be offered to women aged 30-49 years old in 58 DOH-retained hospitals nationwide for the whole month of May. “Screening, either through Pap smear or visual inspection using acetic acid (VIA), should be done on women who are sexually active or had history of sexual contact. This service is being offered for free every May in government hospitals, to help detect cervical cancer in its early stage, while it is still treatable and curable,” said Dr. Rey Delos Reyes, past President of POGS and SGOP, consultant of Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center.

“The good news is that early this year, PhilHealth included the treatment for cervical cancer in the Z Benefit Package program. The benefit package includes cervical cancer chemoradiation with cobalt or primary surgery worth Php120,000 or cervical cancer chemoradiation with linear accelerator for Php175,000 depending on what is needed by the patient,” imparts DOH Secretary Enrique Ona.

Apart from free screenings nationwide, MSD in partnership with DOH will be providing free quadrivalent HPV vaccinations to 9,000 girls aged 13 years old this coming school year. “Our mission is not only to discover and develop medicines and vaccines for unmet medical needs but we would also like to make these accessible to people who can benefit from them. This initiative would help demonstrate how to implement a school-based vaccination program which can serve as a model for a national program,” shares Sanjiv Navangul, President and Managing Director of MSD in the Philippines.

Aside from cervical cancer, the quadrivalent HPV vaccine can also prevent vulvar and vaginal cancer, as well as genital warts. It is important to note that HPV is implicated in various diseases aside from cervical cancer such as cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus, penis, head and neck, and genital warts. It is themost common sexually transmitted infection in both men and women. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have stated that HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women get it at some point in their lives.

“Due to the many risks that HPV poses and the many lives claimed by cervical cancer, the DOH hopes that through the yearly celebration of CCAM, more and more women will be educated and encouraged to undergo screening and vaccination, “says Secretary Ona.

They wanted to focus on one product and that is the  Fine Nutrition's Hyaluron and Collagen Plus.Their tag line is for a healthier and more beautiful YOU !!! Fine Nutrition's Hyaluron and Collagen Plus An excellent beauty supplement to regain youthfulness. 

Easy to drink with fruity taste. COLLAGEN is a major protein component in the human body. Approximately one quarter of the total amount of proteins in the body is composed of collagen. Collagen helps to maintain the strength and flexibility of skin, connective tissue, ligaments, bones, joints, muscles, tendons, gum, teeth, eyes, blood vessels, nails and hair. In fact, 70% of the skin is composed of collagen. As we age, collagen production in the body starts to slow down. Therefore, the skin inevitably loses its firmness and radiance. 

Visible signs of aging become more visible; pores enlarge, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, dry and sagging skin appears. Collagen derived from fish is a natural rejuvenating source that replenishes the body's own collagen supply and boosts collagen cell turnover. Due to its premium quality, this low molecular weight collagen peptide is used to ensure far greater absorption and utilization by the body than other collagen products, resulting in skin that is younger-looking and firmer.

Some ladies also gave some testimonials about the product:

The best news of all is, not only is my face clear, but I have the added bonus of smoother skin. The fine lines I was developing are hardly noticeable, my pores are smaller, and the overall tone of my skin is more even... in short, taking it in time, makes me feel younger, whiter and gives me the confidence I wanted. My skin looks younger than it did in my early twenties! I feel so lucky to have found this product. I just want everyone to try it because I know that it works, even when everything else doesn't. I will admit that it is not cheap, but one box of 30 sachets lasts for a month use. But honestly, I would pay anything for my skin to look like this and for the acne to go away, to get the moisture, glow our skin needs, and a way to fight and keep one’s age! Am so happy taking it and can say I couldn’t live without taking it and You deserve it too!  If it’s from FINE, it must be good!

This product is just incredible! I don't even have to do much. The product makes a very strong case for itself. I simply transcribe what experimental evidence reveals: nothing more, and nothing less.  Am I really the only one in the Philippines to discover this amazing product?  If everyone knew what I know, this product would be everywhere here in the Philippines.  I still cannot believe how great this product is. I've tried anti aging products before, but nothing like this!
