Dr Fatima Mahmood Jibirilla [2]
Abstract: This article discusses the impact of community-based programs in enhancing health awareness, with a specific focus on a project aimed at promoting awareness and uptake of cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination. The project, led by Health and Development Alliance Limited HADAL, targets healthcare workers and the general populace, addressing the critical issue of cervical cancer, which is notably prevalent in Nigeria. It emphasizes the necessity of HPV vaccination and outlines the challenges in achieving high vaccine coverage, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. The multi-phase approach includes situational analysis, strategic content creation, and implementation involving capacity-building training, town hall meetings, and advocacy visits. This comprehensive strategy aims to increase knowledge and change attitudes towards cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes.
