Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the UAE—yet it’s one of the most preventable forms of cancer. With regular Pap smears, HPV testing, and vaccination, women can significantly reduce their risk.
What Is Cervical Cancer?
It begins in the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) and is most often caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV).
Why It Matters in the UAE

-
Lack of awareness about HPV vaccination
