According to the Alabama Department of Public Health, the state ranks third in the nation in the incidence and deaths from a cancer that can be prevented cervical cancer.
To address this serious public health problem “Operation Wipe Out Cervical Cancer Alabama” was created.
“Right now, Alabama ranks third in the nation for incidence and mortality related to cervical cancer. This is not acceptable. Cervical cancer is preventable, and it is stoppable,” Nancy Wright, Director of the ADPH Cancer Prevention and Control Division, said. “We can do that how three steps First, increase HPV vaccination. Second, increase cervical cancer screening, which is a pap HPV test regularly. Third, appropriate follow-up tests for the screening results that show up with abnormal cells.
“The launching of the statewide action plan is a historic milestone in the fight against cervical cancer in Alabama,” Wright said. “It is an opportunity for all segments of society to get involved, including parents, physicians, business leaders, community-based organizations, public health systems, and academic centers.”
