Appeal

• Every 90 seconds, we lose a woman to cervical cancer, worldwide. Cervical cancer remains one of India's most frequent cancers and a top cause of cancer-related mortality in women in low- and middle-income nations . It is primarily caused by infection with HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).
• Vaccination against HPV, along with regular screening can prevent cervical cancer. Yet, many women are unaware of the simple preventive measures, and often don’t seek treatment until it is too late.
Besides, HPV vaccines are not freely available in India yet, through the public sector, and prohibitively expensive for many, if purchased through the private sector.
Secondly, despite a National Cancer Screening Programme in India that includes population level cervical cancer screening, only 1.9% of women have ever undergone screening for cervical cancer, as per the NFHS-5 report.
The campaign “ Race to Erase Cervical Cancer” launched by FPA India last year helped secure more than 900 HPV vaccine doses and conduct 16000 cervical cancer screenings over a short span of 9 months.
FPA India is on a mission to protect 100,000 adolescent girls and women from this preventable cancer, with information and access to affordable HPV vaccines for adolescent girls and cervical cancer screening for women.
I am leveraging the TMM 2025 platform to raise the required funds for accelerating this campaign
