Event Details

Cervical cancer is the most prevalent HPV-related cancer among females, ranking third among women. Remarkably, over 90% of cancers caused by HPV can be prevented through vaccination.


Join us on Tuesday, 30 January for a Spotlight Session when the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) along with the HEART Alliance, will provide much-needed information for us to help our colleagues, friends, mothers, sisters, and daughters.


The 'Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-related Cancers Elimination Alliance Rallying Together' (HEART) is a collaborative initiative by the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) that aims to promote the protection against HPV-related cancers in society by implementing appropriate measures and initiatives to improve awareness, screening rates, and vaccination. They are dedicated to amplifying awareness about HPV-related cancers and working toward Malaysia's ambitious goal of 90-70-90 targets by 2030 in line with the World Health Organization (WHO): 90% of girls fully vaccinated with HPV vaccine by 15 years of age, 70% of women screened using a high-performance test and 90% of women identified with cervical disease will be treated.


During this event, you will have the unique opportunity to:

  • Vaccination Advocacy: Uncover how participating in the HEART Alliance paves the way for championing HPV vaccination, contributing significantly to the eradication of cervical cancer in Malaysia.
  • Corporate Engagement for Health: On-site cancer and health screenings and on-site HPV vaccinations at corporations and factories via the HEART Alliance.
  • Corporate Certification for HPV-Protected Organization: Discover how your company can attain certification as a frontline champion in the battle against HPV-related cancer, enhancing your brand's commitment to corporate social responsibility.
  • Impactful Awareness Programs: Find impactful awareness programs run by NCSM through HEART Alliance, offering corporate sponsorship and involvement opportunities.
