Mobile Awareness Programme on HPV Vaccination

Mobile Awareness Programme on HPV Vaccination

 

A mobile awareness programme focused on HPV vaccination and cervical cancer prevention was held on July 4, 2025, at Bhowanipur Arya Vidyamandir for Girls, in collaboration with the Lion Club of Calcutta Paradise.

 

The event brought together a distinguished panel of healthcare professionals, including Dr. Amit Basu, Dr. Sebanti Goswami, Dr. Shabana Roze Chowdhury, Dr. Partha Bhattacharyya, Dr. Lovely Agarwal, Dr. Sreeya Bose, and Dr. Ankur Biswas. The primary focus of the programme was to raise awareness about cervical cancer and the importance of timely vaccination.

 

In addition to discussions on cervical cancer and its prevention through HPV vaccines, the sessions also addressed critical topics such as menstrual hygiene, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and the sensitive yet essential subject of sexual abuse.

 

The initiative aimed to empower adolescent girls with knowledge and encourage open conversations around reproductive health and personal safety.
