Free Cervical Cancer Screenings Now Available in Samarkand

Free screening examinations were conducted in Tashkent and Andijan region, now free screening processes for cervical cancer have also been launched in 5 family clinics of Samarkand region.

The main cause of cervical cancer (98-99 percent) is the human papillomavirus (OPV), which is considered the only type of cancer that can be avoided.

Cervical cancer is asymptomatic and can only be detected by perforation. If the disease is detected at an early stage, the necessary time for treatment will be sufficient. Morbidity and mortality, in turn, are reduced.

The disease can be defeated only through regular examinations, early diagnosis and treatment.

The Research Institute of Virology, together with the South Korean Cofix Foundation, launched free screening processes in 5 central family clinics in Tashkent and 2 in the Andijan region.
