The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environment, and Civil Service Affairs is inviting residents to take advantage of free HPV screening services being offered on select weekends throughout May.
The initiative forms part of the Ministry's ongoing commitment to early detection, disease prevention, and overall public health improvement across Antigua and Barbuda.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can lead to serious health complications if left undetected. Health officials stress that regular screening is a critical step in reducing risks and improving long-term outcomes for those affected.
Residents are advised to consult official Ministry flyers for details on screening dates, locations, and eligibility requirements. The Ministry is urging individuals to make use of the free service, emphasising that early screening can play a vital role in protecting long-term health.
