NHS England has urged women to accept cervical screening invites to make it possible to eliminate the disease within the next two decades.
Screening using a highly effective test helps detect human papillomavirus (HPV), which is responsible for over 99 per cent of all cervical cancers.
Sadly, three in ten of those eligible for screening do not take up the potentially life-saving offer, as shown by the NHS Cervical Screening Programme,
England 2022-2023 annual report.
The report, published by NHSE on Thursday, showed that a total of 4.62 million women aged 25 to 64 for cervical screening was invited to book an appointment
in 2022-23, and 3.43 million attended the screening.
Morning friends,today i would like to stress on the importance of screening programmes for early detection of cervical cancer.Cervical cancer is perhaps the most common female genital tract cancer in the developing countries
