Cervical Screening Program

The Cervical Screening Program is a public health initiative aimed at preventing cervical cancer in women and people with a cervix. It involves regular tests to check for abnormal cervical cells or the presence of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause these changes. By participating in the program, individuals can detect potential issues early, allowing for timely treatment and significantly reducing the risk of developing cervical cancer. The program typically recommends screenings every few years, depending on age and health guidelines, promoting overall reproductive health and well-being.
