[Explanation] The International Agency for Research on Cancer has designated January as the International Cervical Cancer Awareness Month to support the "Global Strategy for Accelerating the Elimination of Cervical Cancer" proposed by the World Health Organization.

In China, some regions have become the "first mover" in eliminating cervical cancer by promoting the prevention of cervical cancer vaccination and "two cancer screening."

On January 19, the reporter learned from the Ordos Municipal Health Commission of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region that in order to achieve the goal of eliminating cervical cancer locally, the Ordos City has officially issued relevant documents to actively promote free cervical cancer vaccination for women of the right age. The project is expected It was fully launched locally in March this year.

　　[Explanation] Starting from August 2020, the local area has carried out a pilot project for free cervical cancer prevention vaccines in the Zhungeerqi area.

At present, the vaccination rate of females in Zhungeerqi has reached about 85%.

The Zhungeer Banner Maternal and Child Health Hospital is a designated vaccination site for free cervical cancer vaccination in the local area. During the previous visit, the reporter saw that local women of the right age can be vaccinated after they have undergone health screening and identity verification with their family members. After that, you can leave for half an hour.

　　I went to school in Baicheng, Jilin. This time I came back to get a cervical cancer vaccine. I just finished the vaccine. It hurts a bit, but I think it’s good because I think this vaccine is related to women’s health, not to mention that the country gives it free of charge. , So I feel very good.

　　(Currently) During the entire vaccination process, no serious adverse reactions were found, and the entire vaccination process was very smooth.

　　[Explanation] According to the statistics of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in only one year in 2020, about 604,000 women worldwide have been diagnosed with cervical cancer, and about 340,000 women have died of cervical cancer.

At the same time, cervical cancer is also the world's fourth most threatening cancer to women's health.

Cervical cancer is currently the only cancer that has a completely definite cause and can be overcome through early detection.

Vaccination is considered to be the most effective means to prevent cervical cancer.

　　The World Health Organization now proposes to eliminate cervical cancer.

(This process) has three steps, one is to implement cervical cancer vaccination; the second protective measure is to implement cervical cancer screening; the third is to prevent and treat cervical cancer.

Because there is a basis for two cancer screenings, the goal of eliminating cervical cancer (locally) can be achieved by implementing the cervical cancer vaccination program.

　　[Explanation] The reporter learned that since 2016, Ordos City has included the free "two cancer" screening project in the Huimin Project. By the end of 2020, more than 200,000 local women of the right age have completed cervical cancer screening.

The funds for the free cervical cancer vaccination project carried out this time are all undertaken by the local finance. The vaccines used can be traced from production to vaccination, and temperature monitoring equipment is specially equipped to ensure the quality of vaccination.

　　We have carried out cervical cancer screening for 5 years, our unit.

During the screening process, we found a lot of early cervical cancer lesions as early as possible. This can greatly improve the quality of life and quality of life of our women. Since I am a woman, I am also within the scope of vaccination. , I have also been vaccinated against cervical cancer, so I think this (cervical cancer vaccine) is a very beneficial measure for women’s life, work, and family.
