Aabir Bio-Services Foundation
Aabir Bio-Services Foundation (ABSF) is “not-for-profit” Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and it is registered under section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Aabir Bio-Services Foundation is committed to bridge the gap between science and society through continuous public engagement programmes and knowledge transfer about common and preventable diseases in women and girls in India since its inception in 2011.
Cervical Cancer is one of the most common and preventable diseases in women and girls. Persistent and undiagnosed HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infection is mainly responsible for development of cervical cancer. Prevention of cervical cancer should ideally involve a multi-pronged approach of education, awareness, advocacy, public-private partnerships for vaccination, screening and early treatment of precancerous lesions before they develop into cancer.
Why women and girls ? According to “World Health Organization”, the health of women and girls is of particular concern because in many societies they are disadvantaged by discrimination rooted in socio-cultural factors.
