Early detection through regular screening of Breast or Cervical cancer can save your life. What better gift to give yourself and your whānau this Mother's Day.
Cervical Screening:
From 12 September 2023, the primary test for cervical screening (previously called a “smear” test) changed to a human papillomavirus (HPV) test.
The new HPV test means that people will have the choice to collect their own sample, via a simple self-test swab.
You may be eligible to have your HPV/cervical screening test done for free. More information and FAQ about cervical screening can be found here. 👇
