Groundsix reports that “The majority of cancers were found to be cervical and breast cancer in women” in Maldives. Now, i am going to reveal something which can one day save your daughter or loved ones.
Now most of you all might not know, but there is a vaccine available which reduces the probability of getting cervical cancer by many folds. The vacine is given for girls in the age group 12-18. The cause of cervical cancer is mainly due to Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV). It would be great if Maldives considers givng this vaccine to the sexually active group which is 12-18 year age group girls ( boys also ca be given the vaccine), since this virus is manily distributed by unsafe sexual practices. The vaccine is a breakthrough by Australian researchers. You can read more about this very new treatment from here and here.
