Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women. European Cervical Cancer Day is observed every third week of January (17.01.-23.01.) to raise awareness about this health issue and make women better acquainted with prevention measures and the importance of regular gynecological exams.

The morbidity and mortality rates for women who suffer from this disease are devastating. For this reason, it is crucial to organize educational seminars, public manifestations, forums, promotional materials, and social media statements to increase knowledge about this issue.

In order to eradicate this disease and reduce the death rate, we appeal that early detection of cervical cancer is the only safe way to fight this dangerous scourge, emphasizing the significance of routine screening, HPV vaccination, as well as the provision of social and psychological support to women who have already been diagnosed with the disease.
