CerviQ Community

The Baguio City Health Services Office recently hosted an essential initiative to improve community health. In collaboration with CerviQ, Dynamic People's Network (DPN), Rotary Club of Baguio Highlands, Rotary Club of Makati F. Zobel, and the Cancer Warriors Foundation, Inc., the "Silip Cervix Sagip Buhay: Capacity Building" program was officially launched. [Original Article @

The program focused on enhancing the knowledge of cervical cancer, its causes, and prevention methods including HPV vaccination guidelines, and various screening approaches. A key element introduced was the use of portable digital colposcopes, supported by artificial intelligence, to streamline the screening process. The advantages of using a colposcope over traditional methods include magnification for more accurate evaluations, the ability to document through cervical imaging, remote assessments by physicians, and faster communication of results to patients.

After the didactic sessions, participants engaged in hands-on training, enabling them to apply the knowledge gained in real-world scenarios. The training emphasized the use of a portable digital colposcope, supported by artificial intelligence, which aids in more precise visual inspections and offers several benefits over traditional screening methods. This technology provides magnification for better evaluations, enables cervical imaging for documentation, allows remote assessments by physicians, and facilitates faster communication of results to patients.

To further enhance their skills and practical experience, participants were invited to attend the upcoming Pasadang Pambarangay at the Mines View Health Center and the Gibraltar Health Center. This event will allow them to put their training into practice and provide essential cervical screening services to more women in the community.

This initiative aimed to empower health professionals in Baguio by equipping them with crucial skills to improve cervical cancer screening. During the afternoon training session at the Baguio City Health Services Office, healthcare workers gathered to enhance their expertise and strengthen their impact on the community's well-being.

The collaboration between these organizations reflects a shared commitment to improving cervical cancer screening and prevention in Baguio. By providing advanced education and training, the program seeks to close healthcare service gaps, particularly in the early detection of cervical cancer. Early detection is critical, as cervical cancer is highly treatable when identified in its initial stages.

Through this capacity-building effort, Baguio's health professionals are now better equipped to offer improved cervical screening services, which will enhance healthcare quality in the region, reduce cervical cancer rates, and save lives.

Led by the efforts of Doc. Bogs Rivera from CerviQ, this program demonstrates the power of investing in local healthcare training. The "Silip Cervix Sagip Buhay" initiative is paving the way for a healthier future for the people of Baguio.

Following the success of the awareness campaign “Sagip Cervix Webinar,” held August 21 via Zoom and hosted in collaboration with 16 other JCI all-female clubs, JCI Makati Princess Urduja President Rach Aurelio is spearheading a call to action for improved cervical cancer screening and awareness initiatives.

In her powerful statement, Ms. Aurelio emphasizes:

“The urgency to raise awareness and broaden access to cervical cancer prevention measures cannot be overstated. This preventable disease continues to devastate thousands of women each year, despite the availability of effective screening and vaccination options.

Regular screening and HPV vaccination hold the promise of drastically reducing the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer. However, awareness and access remain dangerously low, especially in underserved communities.

Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among Filipino women, with 8,500 new cases and 4,300 deaths reported annually (Globocan, 2022). Globally, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among women, claiming over 311,000 lives in 2018, according to the World Health Organization.

These alarming statistics are a call to action. We urge lawmakers and health officials to step up efforts to increase awareness, expand access to screening programs, and promote widespread HPV vaccination. The potential to save lives is enormous, and we must act now.”

We are thrilled to be part of the Baguio National Integrated Cancer Control Act Localization Summit taking place tomorrow, June 13, and continuing on June 14 at the Hotel Supreme Convention Plaza, Magsaysay St., Baguio City.

One of the key highlights of the summit will be our engaging session on Cervical Cancer. Did you know that cervical cancer is highly preventable with timely vaccination and regular screening? Yet, our data shows that only 0.44% of women attend screening based on DOH-FHIS registers. This is a critical issue, and we are committed to changing it.

Join us as we discuss innovative strategies to increase screening rates and ultimately save women's lives. Your participation and insights can make a significant difference in this crucial cause.

Congratulations! Brgy. Lalakay, Los Baños, Laguna, for a successful Day 2 of FREE Cervical Screening and HPV vaccination for kids ages 9 to 14.

Kudos to all of you!!! 🥰🥳👏🙏

Congratulations! Brgy. Lalakay, Los Baños, Laguna for a successful day 2 of FREE Cervical Screening.

Karamihan sa ating lokalidad, ang cervical cancer screening ay iniuugnay sa mga taunang or yearly na kaganapan tulad ng the National Women's Month, o di kaya sa twing National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, na naglilimita na maipa-abot ang edukasyon or Cervical Awareness sa mga kababaihan para udyukin itong makapag pa screen at maidetect ang sakit ng maaga.

Alalahanin natin na anf Cervical Cancer ay isang highly preventable disease na ayun sa World Health Organization, maaring mai-eliminate KUNG... 70 percent ng ating kababaihan ay nag papa cervical screening, 90% ng kanilang anak edad 9 to 14 ay mapapa bakunahan ng HPV vaccine.

Gayunpaman, ang pagkamit ng layunin na maiscreen ang 70% ng mga kababaihang ay nangangailangan ng PAGBABAGO sa ating patakaran. Ang CerviQ Advocacy ay nagsusulong para sa pang-araw-araw na screening sa grassroots level, sa pagbubo ng isang task force team na may kasamang isang midwife, isang nars (nurse) at isang driver. Gamit ang isang AI-assisted colposcope device, ang pangkat na ito ay babagtas sa komunidad sa bawa't barangay upang magbigay ng edukasyong cervical (awareness) sa mga kababaihan, magsuri ng higit sa 20 na pasyente araw araw at hikayating bakunahan ang mga anak nito. Masisiguro na sa pamamagitan ng aktibong paglalapit ng edukasyon sa komunidad, pagbabakuna at pag screening ay mas higit nating makakamit ang layuning mai-eliminate ang cervical cancer rito sa Pilipinas.

BAYANIHAN PARA SA KABABAIHAN: A Celebration of National Women's Month in Silang Cavite

March is not just a month; it's a celebration of the resilience, strength, and achievements of women worldwide. In Silang Cavite, this year's National Women's Month was marked by a groundbreaking event at the Rural Health Unit in Bulihan Cavite. It wasn't just a typical gathering; it was a testament to the community's dedication to women's health and well-being.
At the heart of this celebration was the introduction of the first artificial intelligence-assisted Cervical Cancer screening, aided by a colposcope. This technological advancement promises more accurate and efficient screenings, providing early detection and potentially saving lives. It's a step forward in the fight against cervical cancer, empowering women with knowledge and proactive healthcare.

But the event didn't stop there. It offered a comprehensive range of services tailored to address various aspects of women's health. From Breast Examinations to HIV testing, Medical Consultations to the distribution of Free Prenatal Vitamins for Pregnant Mothers, every service was designed to prioritize women's well-being at every stage of life.
Recognizing the importance of menstrual hygiene, Free Sanitary Napkins were also provided, ensuring that no woman in the community has to compromise her health and dignity due to lack of access to basic necessities.

Moreover, the event went beyond physical health, offering Free Legal Consultations to address any legal concerns that women might face. Access to justice is fundamental to women's empowerment, and providing this service demonstrates a commitment to supporting women's rights and safety.

Additionally, Free vaccinations of tetanus toxoid were administered, ensuring that women are protected against preventable diseases. It's a reminder that women's health encompasses more than just reproductive health; it's about holistic well-being.

The atmosphere at the event was one of solidarity and support. Women from all walks of life came together to prioritize their health, breaking barriers and challenging stigmas surrounding women's bodies and health issues.

In a world where women's health is often overlooked or neglected, events like these serve as beacons of hope and progress. They remind us that every woman deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of her background or circumstances.

As we reflect on this year's National Women's Month celebration in Silang Cavite, let it serve as a reminder of the work that still needs to be done. Let it inspire us to continue advocating for women's rights, health, and equality in every corner of the world. Because when women are healthy and empowered, entire communities thrive.

Free Cervical Cancer Screening: Empowering Women's Health in Barangay Rosario,Pasig City

March is National Women's Month, a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women across the globe. It's also a crucial opportunity to raise awareness about women's health issues and promote access to essential healthcare services. In line with this, the Wheel Club of Bacoor is proud to sponsor a free cervical cancer screening program for the beneficiaries of Barangay Rosario in Pasig City. Cervical cancer is a preventable disease, and early detection through screening can save lives. By offering this service, we aim to empower women in Barangay Rosario to take charge of their health and well-being.

The Importance of Cervical Cancer Screening:
Cervical cancer is the 2nd most frequent cancer in the Philippines, but it is also one of the most preventable. Regular screening tests can detect precancerous changes in the cervix before they develop into cancer. Early detection allows for timely intervention, significantly improving treatment outcomes and reducing mortality rates. However, access to screening services remains a challenge for many women, particularly those in underserved communities.

The Inner Wheel Club of Bacoor District 381 - represented by District 381 District Secretary Jelyn Laosantos Maliksi, Ms. Shareen Jardin Cayanan, Charter President Mico Reyes, Ms. Ola Dela Cruz, in partnerhsip with Kapitan Ely Dela Cruz, Kagawad Karen Cruz, Kagawad Ryan Zeta, Kagawad Angie Roldan, Kagawad Analyn Santos and Kagawad Grace Sta Ana of Barangay Rosario - recognizes the importance of promoting women's health and addressing barriers to healthcare access. That's why we are partnering with healthcare professionals and local authorities to provide free cervical cancer screening to the women of Barangay Rosario.

The club and barangays initiative aims to raise awareness about cervical cancer and the importance of screening, provide access to quality screening services for women in Barangay Rosario, educate women about risk factors, prevention strategies, and available treatment options, and to empower women to prioritize their health and well-being.

The screening was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Bogs Rivera, founder of CerviQ, using state-of-the-art equipment - Artificial Intelligence-assisted Visual Inspection aided by a colposcope to ensure accurate results. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive counseling and ask questions about cervical cancer and related health concerns.

As we commemorate National Women's Month, let us reaffirm our commitment to promoting women's health and well-being. By offering free cervical cancer screening to the women of Barangay Rosario, Pasig City, we are taking a significant step towards preventing cervical cancer and saving lives. Together, we can empower women to prioritize their health, access essential healthcare services, and lead fulfilling lives.

Empowering Women's Health: Free Cervical Screening in Noveleta, Cavite

In honor of National Women's Month, the Noveleta municipality is proud to offer FREE cervical screening, breast examination, HPV vaccination, and other laboratory test to women in the community. Recognizing the importance of women's health and well-being, this initiative aims to empower women by providing them with access to crucial healthcare services.

Cervical cancer is a significant health concern globally, but regular screening can detect precancerous changes early, leading to timely interventions and improved outcomes. Unfortunately, many women, particularly in underserved communities, lack access to such screenings due to various barriers.

Cerviray AI is a state-of-the-art handheld digital colposcope that is designed to take magnified images of the cervix and analyze them using artificial intelligence technology. This device offers several benefits, including high accuracy in detecting cervical abnormalities, as well as providing immediate results. It is a portable, easy-to-use tool that can be used in a variety of clinical settings, making it a valuable addition to any medical practice.

Through this program, women in Noveleta, Cavite, regardless of their socioeconomic status, can avail themselves of FREE cervical screening services at no cost. By removing financial constraints, we strive to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to prioritize her health and receive the necessary preventive care.

Moreover, beyond the medical aspect, this initiative emphasizes education and awareness. Women will have the opportunity to learn about cervical health, risk factors for cervical cancer, and the importance of regular screenings. Empowering women with knowledge equips them to make informed decisions about their health and take proactive steps toward prevention.

This endeavor embodies the spirit of Women's Month, which celebrates the achievements and contributions of women while advocating for gender equality and women's rights. By prioritizing women's health and offering accessible screenings, Noveleta, Cavite, takes a significant step towards promoting the well-being and empowerment of its female residents. Together, let us prioritize women's health and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Joining Forces to Combat Cervical Cancer: A Collaborative Effort in Los Baños

Cervical cancer continues to pose a significant threat to women's health, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare resources like Los Baños, Laguna. Recognizing the urgent need for comprehensive intervention, a coalition of organizations has joined forces to provide a full continuum of care in the fight against cervical cancer.

Through strategic collaboration, the Los Baños Municipal Office, some members of the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS) - Southern Tagalog Chapter, various Rotary Clubs, MSD, and CerviQ are spearheading initiatives to deliver HPV vaccination, AI-assisted cervical cancer screening, and cryotherapy treatment. This collaborative effort aims to achieve primary prevention through vaccination to kids as young as 9 years old, early detection of precancer lesions, intervention, and ultimately save lives.

The Collaborators include:
Los Baños Municipal Office led by municipal health officer - Dr. Alvin Isidoro,
Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society - Southern Tagalog chapter represented by Drs. Jovita Jane Revilla, OB-Gyne, FPOGS, and Dr. Christie Marie Ebeunga, OB-Gyne, FPOGS;
Rotary Clubs of District 3820 - Rotary Club of Los Banos represented by PP Chi Andal, Rotary Club of Los Banos Makiling represented by PP Maria Elisa Magro Ronan and Hope Creating President Alleli Esther Domingo, Rotary Club of Pila West represented by Assistant Governor Ethel Reuyan, Rotary Club of Nagcarlan, Rotary Club of Pagsanjan
Special mention to Past District Governor Dr. Dennis Sunio and wife Past District Governor Angie Sunio
Mr. Cristopher Fres of MSD
and CerviQ - the company providing specialized AI-assisted cervical cancer screening solutions, leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance early detection and diagnosis to medical professionals

The Initiative:
The collaborative effort encompasses a multi-faceted approach to combat cervical cancer, addressing prevention, screening, and treatment through the following components:

HPV Vaccination Program:
Targeting children aged 9 to 14, the initiative aims to provide HPV vaccination to protect against high-risk strains of the virus, a leading cause of cervical cancer.
Vaccination drives are conducted in schools, community centers, and healthcare facilities to ensure widespread coverage and accessibility.

AI-Assisted Cervical Cancer Screening:
Leveraging CerviQ's AI technology, cervical cancer screening is enhanced with increased accuracy and efficiency in detecting precancerous lesions.
Trained healthcare professionals utilize AI algorithms to analyze cervical images captured during screening, enabling early detection and intervention.

Cryotherapy Treatment for Positive Cases:
VIA-positive cases identified through screening are promptly referred for cryotherapy treatment at the Los Baños Municipal Health Office.
Cryotherapy, a minimally invasive procedure, effectively treats precancerous lesions, preventing progression to cervical cancer and saving lives.

The Impact:
Through this collaborative effort, the coalition aims to achieve several key outcomes:
Increased HPV vaccination coverage among children aged 9 to 14, reducing the risk of cervical cancer in future generations.
Enhanced early detection of cervical cancer through AI-assisted screening, enabling timely intervention and improving treatment outcomes.
Access to cryotherapy treatment for VIA-positive individuals, ensuring comprehensive care and preventing the progression of precancerous lesions.
Community empowerment through education and awareness initiatives, promoting proactive healthcare seeking behavior and reducing stigma surrounding cervical cancer.

Overall Impact:
The collaborative efforts of the Los Baños Municipal Office, POGS, Rotary Clubs, MSD, and CerviQ represent a proactive and comprehensive approach to combatting cervical cancer in the region. By providing a full continuum of care, from prevention through vaccination to early detection and treatment, this coalition aims to save lives and improve the overall health and well-being of women in Los Baños. Through continued collaboration and dedication, we can make significant strides in the fight against cervical cancer and create a brighter, healthier future for all.
