Overview

Survey reveals low cervical cancer screening uptake despite high awareness among women, indicating barriers in healthcare access.

Key Points

  • The used survey involved questionnaires and key informant interviews to gather qualitative and quantitative data.
  • Increased efforts are necessary to enhance cervical cancer screening rates through targeted educational programs and improved healthcare access.
