The national health authorities have completed a major public health campaign targeting the prevention of cervical cancer. The HPV vaccination drive ends with 77.7% coverage, marking a significant achievement in the fight against the disease.
Officials reported that the vaccination program reached millions of school-aged girls across the country. The HPV vaccine is considered the most effective tool for preventing cervical cancer and other HPV-related illnesses. Health experts welcomed the results, calling them an important step toward improved public health.
According to data released by the Ministry of Health, the HPV vaccination drive ends with 77.7% coverage despite challenges in reaching remote areas. The campaign was conducted in collaboration with schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations. Awareness sessions were also arranged to educate families about the importance of the vaccine.
Doctors stressed that cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among women in many developing nations. By achieving such coverage levels, the risk of new infections could decline sharply in the coming years. International organizations praised the campaign, noting that many countries struggle to reach even half this level.
Still, authorities admitted that more work needs to be done. Some regions saw lower participation due to lack of awareness or access. Health workers are urging continued community engagement to ensure full nationwide protection.
The HPV vaccination drive ends with 77.7% coverage, but officials plan to build on this progress. Future campaigns will aim for higher rates and expanded eligibility. The government has also promised stronger healthcare infrastructure to support follow-up doses and monitoring.
Experts say that sustained efforts and public trust will be vital to reaching complete coverage. For now, the drive stands as a milestone in the country’s ongoing battle against cervical cancer.
