This initiative aims to raise public awareness about Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and its associated health risks, particularly cervical cancer, while promoting vaccination and early screening as key preventive measures.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the US-based pharmaceutical company Merc Sharp & Dohme (MSD) will join hands to support the Ministry of Health to roll out the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme in Vietnam from 2019 – 2021.
