CERVICAL CANCER: The Role of Nurses in Prevention.
The State Family Planning Programme Coordinator, Mrs Opeyemi Agunbiade, was the keynote speaker at the technical session of the OSPHCDA #Nurses first Quarter 2024 Meeting held earlier this week, delivering a compelling lecture on #CervicalCancer. The presentation underscored the significance of the topic and empowered nurses with valuable insights to enhance their roles in healthcare delivery and cervical cancer management.
The lecture provides a comprehensive overview of cervical cancer, exploring its prevalence, risk factors, and the crucial importance of early detection and prevention.
Mrs. Agunbiade emphasized preventive measures, particularly the role of vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) and elucidated how nurses could actively contribute to promoting and administering #HPV vaccine, thereby playing a proactive role in preventing cervical cancer in their communities.
The session did not only heightened awareness about #cervicalcancer but also equipped the participants with actionable insights to make a tangible impact in exercising their roles for the overall benefit of the people.
