Cancer society seeks funds for HPV vaccination drive

: The National Cancer Society Malaysia is appealing to the public and corporations for donations to raise RM9 million for an on-ground project to vaccinate underprivileged girls against cervical cancer.

“This include free cancer screening, diagnostics and treatment for rural and underprivileged communities, psychosocial support, free transit housing for patients and caregivers, subsidised cancer medication, and wellness and return to work programmes.” “This will prevent cervical cancer. We received 300,000 vaccine doses worth RM90 million for free from a manufacturer, Merck Sharp and Dohme. However, we need to raise RM9 million to carry out the on-ground project to vaccinate the girls.”

UMWT president Datuk K. Ravindran said the event serves as a testament to the dedication of the company in helping those in need.
