About this specialty
Prevention that protects the future
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for nearly all cases of cervical cancer and many other cancers, including cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus, penis, and some head and neck cancers. HPV vaccination is one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine — for the first time, we have a way to genuinely prevent cancer through vaccination.
That's why HPV prevention is more than just one of the services offered at Santé Medica. It's part of our mission and a real chance to reduce the number of cancers that we can actually prevent.
At Santé Medica we vaccinate adults. Eligibility assessment and the vaccination itself are carried out by all of our gynecologists as well as midwife Maria Sierputowska, so you can easily find a time that works for you.

Yes. A conversation alone and planning further diagnostics is also a perfectly valid reason for a visit.
