Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—and yet, thousands of women in India continue to be diagnosed every year due to low awareness and limited access to the HPV vaccine. The HPV vaccination, when given at the right age, can reduce the risk of cervical cancer by up to 99%, making prevention the most powerful tool we have.

To address this gap, the India Humanity Foundation (IHF), in collaboration with the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA), has been conducting a series of cervical cancer awareness and vaccination drives across schools in West Bengal. CPAA brings medical expertise, while IHF ensures community mobilisation and engagement, and coordinated implementation.

On 18^th and 19^th November 2025, cervical vaccination camps were organised in and around Kolkata covering over 600 girl students.

Voices From the Ground

“I didn’t know cervical cancer could be prevented. The session gave me clarity and confidence.” – a parent said.

“The entire process—from counselling to vaccination—was smooth and well-organised. The girls felt comfortable, and parents appreciated the care taken.” – Altup Sekh, Principal of Kheyadaha High School, South 24 Parganas.

These experiences show how informed communities make safer health decisions for their daughters.
