Group to push for pap smears
By April Chong


A NEWLY set up group aims to get 18,000 - or one per cent of 1.8 million - women here to take an online cervical cancer risk test and encourage those at risk to go for pap smear tests.

The group, named the Power Over Cervical Cancer coalition, was launched on Monday by MP Halimah Yacob of Jurong GRC. It includes entertainment personalities and corporate and community supporters.

Cervical cancer is preventable, yet it is one of the top 10 cancer killers of women here, said Dr Lisa Wong, head of the Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology of Singapore, which spearheaded the coalition formation.

The coalition also includes a community youth group, the Lam Soon Youth Executive Committee, which will spread the awareness message to young women at the community level.

The society hopes to get at least 80 per cent of the women screened. A local health survey carried out in 2007 showed that only 60 per cent of the women took pap smears.
