Cervical Health Awareness Month in January is a time where we want to get as many people involved as we can. The World Health Organization has a plan for the elimination of cervical cancer through vaccination and screening—we can get there! This January, we encourage you to learn more about cervical health and cervical cancer prevention and take steps to help eliminate this preventable cancer.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of cervical cancer, responsible for 95% of cases. The virus is common and usually goes away on its own, but in some cases it can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated.
Other risk factors for cervical cancer include:
- Smoking
- HIV
- Having a high number of sexual partners
- Becoming sexually active at a young age
- Using oral contraceptives for a long time
- Having three or more full-term pregnancies
- Being born to a person who took diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy
maternal health awareness day

maternal health awareness day
Year after year, government data have shown that the maternal mortality rate in the United States remains unacceptably high, with Black and American Indian or Alaska Native pregnant and postpartum people disproportionately experiencing health inequities. The vast majority—roughly 80%—of maternal deaths are considered preventable, and nearly half of maternal deaths occur between seven and 365 days postpartum, not during delivery itself. But all of the resounding data about maternal deaths cannot capture the true scope and scale of those losses: the anguish felt by families who lose loved ones, the trauma endured by those with severe maternal complications, the tragedy of those unable to access needed abortion care, the emotional and financial cost of those recovering from severe maternal morbidity, the communities that are living with increasingly depleted health care resources, and the clinicians whose ethical obligations to their patients are compromised daily.
