Dr. Nonye Soludo, the wife of the Anambra state governor, has said that cervical cancer would soon be eradicated in Anambra State through the introduction of the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine, aimed at protecting girls and future leaders from the disease.
She said: “This disease destroys the lives of these women taking them away from their families just as they reach the prime of their lives, leaving husbands without wives, children without mothers and families in financial ruins. “Cervical cancer is going to become a thing of the past in Anambra state! With this Gardasil4 HPV vaccine, we will protect our girls and future leaders from this disease.”
Executive Secretary of ASPHCDA, Mrs Chisom Uchem described HPV as the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract which causes more than 95 percent of cases of cervical cancer.
