"Health is Wealth" - is a old saying that we have been hearing since our childhood. We only realized this during COVID times when we saw how helpless people were before the onslaught of the deadly virus.
However, people had been suffering even before Covid but no one understood the fragility of the situation.
Keeping this in mind, Palium Foundation has launched its healthcare initiative which strives to offer affordable healtcare to those who cannot afford treatment at Corporate medical establishments or need support in meeting the expenses of medical treatment.
How it works?
We leverage the services of Medical professionals willing to offer their services through the Foundation and want to help the needy.
We also donate to healthcare establishments who offer low cost treatment to the needy people.
Those who wish to be a part of this initiative may reach out to us at our email palium.foundation@gmail.com
Cervical cancer awareness and HPV vaccination are crucial for preventing a disease that is often preventable. HPV vaccines are highly effective in preventing HPV infections, which are the primary cause of cervical cancer. Regular cervical cancer screening, along with HPV vaccination, significantly reduces the risk of developing the disease.
Key points about cervical cancer and HPV vaccination:
HPV and Cervical Cancer:
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a common virus that can cause cervical cancer. While most HPV infections clear up on their own, persistent infections with certain high-risk HPV types can lead to cervical cancer.
HPV Vaccination:
HPV vaccines are available and recommended for both males and females, typically starting at ages 11 or 12. These vaccines are most effective when administered before potential exposure to HPV through sexual activity.
Vaccination Schedule:
For individuals vaccinated before age 15, two doses are usually sufficient. Those starting the series later, between ages 15 and 26, typically require three doses.
Screening:
Regular cervical cancer screening (Pap tests and/or HPV tests) is essential for detecting precancerous changes and early-stage cervical cancer, allowing for timely treatment.
Importance of Awareness:
Increasing awareness about HPV, cervical cancer, and the availability and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine is vital for promoting prevention and early detection. HPV is the vaccine for prevention of Cervical Cancer and is for girls below 25 years of age. Girls between 12-15 years are administered 2 doses within a period of 12-15 years of age.

“We are so engrossed in our day to day lives that we often forget that we are all human beings and being human should be our first objective. It is not important what we do or what we earn or how big our car or house is. We should be happy with what we have, not with what we are! Material things bring us comfort but being human brings peace within us. Do a good deed each day and see how it makes your day good.”
