    "content": "According to the International Centre for Reproductive Health in Kenya, HPV vaccination is not part of the national immunisation scheme. In Australia, when 65 per cent of women were vaccinated, fewer heterosexual men were diagnosed with genital warts. So, when people are given HPV vaccination, there is a reduction of cancer because it is sexually transmitted. As I have said, there is need for vaccination. In Australia, infections of HPV that causes cancers reduced by 71 per cent and 61 per cent among young women after vaccination and infection of cervical cancer on women who had been vaccinated dropped by 41 per cent. Regular screening combined with HPV vaccination is important to the eradication of cervical cancer in the country. This is the case in Australia and Scotland which have reduced cervical cancer which affects women. We should note that if a country like Australia has reduced the number of people who get cervical cancer and mortality rates, then I believe that Kenya can also do it. The cause of high mortality rates in low and high-income countries is poor access to medical facilities, especially in rural areas. We are all aware that we can have one dispensary in a ward or sub-county. There is poor nutrition and comorbid conditions. Most people who earn less than one dollar a day do not have good nutrition and cancer can really spread in the shortest time possible."
