The Asia and Oceania Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOFOG), in partnership with MSD in the Philippines, is set to convene health leaders, policymakers, and experts for a pivotal summit focused on eliminating cervical cancer—one of the most preventable yet persistent public health threats.

Titled “One Community Against HPV: Innovations Enabling Cervical Cancer Elimination in the Philippines,” this half-day event underscores the country’s renewed commitment to ending cervical cancer through innovation and collaboration.

The summit spotlights the latest advancements in HPV prevention, screening, and treatment, while also calling on multi-sectoral advocates—including members of the media—to help scale impactful, sustainable solutions for women’s health across the nation.
