China News Service, Beijing, March 4 (Reporter Li Chun) March 4 is the 4th International HPV Awareness Day. Many members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference called for the prevention and control of cervical cancer to be gradually moved forward to increase the HPV vaccination rate .
Dai Xiuying, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Central Standing Committee of the Peasants and Workers Party, and former vice president of Ningxia Medical University, said that the survey found that the incidence of cervical cancer is closely related to the local health level and education.
Therefore, my country faces many challenges in the prevention of cervical cancer, including a large number of people, a large population of the right age, an incomplete vaccine supply guarantee mechanism, and the uneven development of regional economy and health.
Xu Congjian, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Peasants and Workers Party, and Dean of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, said that the prevention of cervical cancer is divided into three levels. Opportunity to enhance the body’s immunity; secondary prevention is to do a good job of screening and treatment of precancerous lesions; tertiary prevention is to diagnose and treat patients with cervical cancer early.
Among them, immunization may be the most cost-effective preventive measure. It not only protects women from avoidable illnesses, but also produces huge economic and social returns.
Recently, the National Health Commission announced its response to relevant suggestions and proposals, stating that it will continue to strengthen monitoring of HPV vaccination and, on the basis of scientific demonstration, the inclusion of vaccination into the national immunization plan for overall research.
At the same time, it was revealed in the reply that the pilot program will be promoted first, and regions with conditions will be encouraged to actively adopt a variety of funding models, and gradually develop free HPV vaccination to explore suitable experience for the promotion of HPV vaccination.
Yi Luci, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Health Commission, emphasized that the current HPV vaccination rate at the grassroots level is not high. To reverse this situation, in addition to health education, it is necessary to protect vaccination sites.

The committee members and experts called for the prevention and control of cervical cancer to be gradually moved forward under the guidance of the Healthy China Initiative to increase the HPV vaccination rate; the development of a comprehensive prevention and treatment path for cervical cancer in line with Chinese characteristics requires the National Health and Construction Commission and the Food and Drug Administration , The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, the Women’s Federation and other departments should work together to manage; it is necessary to further strengthen the science of cervical cancer prevention, advocate a healthy lifestyle, and continuously improve the public’s awareness and ability of prevention.
