“Actually, I never thought I would
work as a cervical cancer nurse in
my life. I just took cervical cancer
screening as part of an activity,
not something I could do on daily
basis. As I started the daily
screening, I realized that it’s not
just about the personal liking of
the job, but the job itself that
grew the passion in me.
