[The "Action Woman Health" program in three Lyons suburbs]

The cervical cancer screening campaign has been led in three cities in Lyons suburbs from October 1st, 1999 to October 31st, 1999. The objectives of this programme whose title was "Action Femme Santé" (Action Woman Health) were to screen cervical cancer systematically for women who accede with difficulties to smear technique, and to settle in an information, screenings and follow-up system. During the three years, 3,127 smears have been declared and have reached about 2,881 women. The rate of detected disorders is about 2.1%. This campaign has succeeded in its goal about the target public but the participation of health professionals was unsatisfactory because of many obstacles. This implementation of the programme and its results, the weak points and strong points to be kept from such experience, are developed.
