Wish 2 for 2024!

Prioritizing HPV Education and Vaccination:

Let's normalize conversations about HPV vaccination – it saves lives. Dive into our new website, HeadAndNeck.org.nz, for insights, support, and guidance.

2024 Wish

Wish 1: Retaining Smoke-Free Legislation:

🚭 Our wish? That the Smokefree legislation stays intact! Smoking can lead to cancers of the mouth, lips, and throat, impacting the ability to eat, drink, and speak post-treatment. It's time to take a stand against repealing smoke-free laws. Our new website, HeadAndNeck.org.nz, empowers you with resources to understand, prevent, and support those affected by these cancers. Let's continue advancing towards better health! @smokefreeNZ #HeadNeckNZ
