Abstract
Cervical screening is a vital preventive healthcare measure for women, playing a crucial role in detecting and preventing cervical cancer. Regular screenings can identify precancerous changes caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), enabling timely intervention and significantly reducing mortality rates. Despite its proven effectiveness, many women neglect screening due to lack of awareness, access barriers, or fear of procedures. This article explores the importance of cervical screening, detailing its role in early detection, the procedures involved, barriers to participation, and strategies to encourage more women to prioritize this essential aspect of health.
