ISLAMABAD \u2013 <\/strong>In a major push to protect young girls from cervical cancer, Dopasi Foundation has deepened its collaboration with global health partners, including Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and MannionDaniels. A high-level strategy meeting was convened at the Foundation\u2019s Islamabad office to finalize plans for the citywide HPV vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n The initiative sets an ambitious target: achieving 80 percent vaccination coverage among girls aged 9 to 14 in Islamabad. Organizers stressed that special emphasis will be placed on hard-to-reach populations\u2014out-of-school girls, those in urban slums, as well as migrant and refugee communities\u2014to ensure equity and inclusivity in the vaccination drive.<\/p>\n Participants highlighted the crucial role of community mobilization in dispelling misconceptions about the HPV vaccine. The strategy calls for active partnerships with schools, teachers, parents, religious leaders, and local influencers to foster public trust and promote awareness. A comprehensive advocacy campaign, supported by media and digital outreach, is also being designed to address myths and misinformation surrounding HPV vaccination.<\/p>\n Dopasi Foundation underscored that the campaign is not only about vaccine delivery but also about saving lives and empowering women. By significantly reducing the risk of cervical cancer, the program seeks to advance gender equity and strengthen public health systems.<\/p>\n The Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the Government of Pakistan, international partners, and local communities to make the vaccination drive a success. Leaders at the meeting expressed confidence that, through collective efforts, cervical cancer could eventually be eliminated as a public health threat in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dopasi Foundation Rallies Global Partners to Drive HPV Vaccination Campaign in Islamabad ISLAMABAD \u2013 In a major push to protect young girls from cervical cancer, Dopasi Foundation has deepened its collaboration with global health partners, including Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and MannionDaniels.
