Dr Marwan Munir Kamil, obstetrics and gynaecology consultant at Danat Al Emarat Hospital for Women and Children, told Khaleej Times the importance of raising awareness on early detection and prevention of the disease, noting that tests often take only minutes to complete.
According to the Health Authority Abu Dhabi, more than 35 women in Abu Dhabi are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year, most of which are between 35 and 55 years old. Moreover, more than 55 cervical cancer cases are registered every year in the UAE.
Dr Kamil said studies reveal that early detection prevents the development of cervical cancer by more than 92 per cent.
She noted that HPV vaccination against cervical cancer is available since it was approved by the Health Authority Abu Dhabi in 2008, adding that it is given for free to students aged 15-17 at Abu Dhabi's public and private schools.
