 According to the Center for Disease Control, cancer remains the second leading cause of death. In St. Lucia, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs undertakes continuous education programs on preventative care for cancer. These activities are often hosted in primary care facilities and communities around the island. Moreover, January is designated annually as cervical cancer awareness month in which awareness programs are intensified. So, within the month of January, within the month of February, all facilities are conducting pap smiths at the various health centers. You can go in, you can call to make an appointment to have your pap smith done. We really went to encourage women to continue doing cervical screens. This is extremely, extremely important. The Ministry of Health remains steadfast in its campaigns focused on the fight against the scourge of cancer. The human papillomavirus is a leading cause of cervical cancer and presents in different types. The Principal Nursing Officer says the HPV vaccine is the Ministry's method of dealing with the human papillomavirus. And one of our primary prevention strategy is when we introduce the human papillomavirus HPV vaccine to our young population. And for children who are ages 9 to 12, they can receive the HPV vaccine. Again, this has been given at this young age in an effort to reduce the exposure of the HPV virus. The Ministry of Health Wellness and Early Affairs is encouraging women to do their usual checkups to ensure a good health status. The free clinics are expected to extend through February. For the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Early Affairs, I'm Sant Justin.
