Medical Screening...

Yesterday was the second Medical Screening Programme held by our church... The first one was held last October.

This talk was for women only, as the talk was about cervical cancer.

It's not for me! It's for girls ONLY...
What actually is cervical cancer? It's a malignant cancer in the cervical area. This cancer is caused by this virus called the "Human Papollomavirus". This is the only cancer that has a vaccine for it. There are 150 types of this HPV virus. But of the 150 types, there are only 15 high-risk types...

Who are at risk of this cancer? Mostly women with many sexual partners. So girls, have only one partner. Do not be too greedy. LOL!
The people who attended...
There were quite a number of people who attended this talk, mostly women of course.

The registration counter...

The doctors... preparing...
The HIGH TEA!!!
I think this programme organized by the church has been a great success! There were good support from the church members and also from some of the youth. I think this is a good way reaching out to people... =)
