Bravehearts is a multi-sectoral coalition led by the Cervical Cancer Prevention Network (CECAP) and the Cancer Institute Foundation (CIF) dedicated to raising awareness on cervical cancer prevention. They hosted a seminar about cervical cancer over lunch detailed in the above mentioned Digital Manila blog article.
