September is Cervical Screening Awareness Month and one year since the implementation of HPV primary screening.

HPV testing is available and is expected to increase screening rates and significantly reduce cervical cancer deaths in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The HPV primary screening test is a simple and quick swab that patients can do themselves or assisted by a trained practice nurse, here at the health centre. It detects the presence of the human papillomavirus (HPV) which causes more than 95 percent of cervical cancers.

By having regular screening (usually every 5 years) and being immunised against HPV, you can protect yourself against cervical cancer. This way you can stay healthy for yourself and your whānau.

Phone us here at Amuri Health on  03 315 6328 to book and appointment or speak with a practice nurse for more information
