Healthcare • Subsidise HPV vaccinations for women in late 20s to 40s
The Straits Times
|April 04, 2025
I am a family doctor who is very passionate about overall sexual wellness for both men and women.
Recently, I was invited to speak at various International Women's Day events focusing on women's health. I shared about the human papillomavirus (HPV), cervical cancer prevention, sexual health, and making women's health a priority.
I am in my 40s and believe more can be done for women in this age bracket concerning cervical cancer and HPV infection.
