Cervical Cancer and Healthcare Access
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It is a preventable cancer, and it is estimated that with proper access to healthcare, it could be eliminated. Unfortunately, there are many women around the world who do not have access to healthcare and do not receive the necessary screenings to detect the presence of this form of cancer. This leads to higher mortality rates, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Education regarding health risks and improved access to healthcare are key to reducing the burden of this cancer.
