The Rotary Clubs of Manila, South San Francisco, and Manila South came together Saturday to sign a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to advance awareness, education, and screening events regarding human papilloma virus (HPV) and its role in cervical cancer.
Globally, HPV is responsible for 600,000+ cases of cervical cancer annually of which over 50% result in death – a percentage reflected also in the Philippines.
This ambitious program will further strive to advance prevention and treatment by pursuing global international grants, as well as corporate social responsibility, underwriting proving once again that Rotary Creates Hope in the World.
