    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Low cervical cytology screening uptake in women over 40 presents a public health challenge.
    • Accessible screening services are crucial for early detection of cervical neoplasia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness of a mobile screening unit in improving cervical cytology screening uptake among women over 40.
    • To evaluate the yield of cervical neoplasia detected through workplace-based screening.

    Main Methods:

    • A mobile screening unit offered cervical cytology and other health checks at workplaces employing at least 25 women.
    • The service was a joint initiative involving the District Health Authority and cancer control organizations.
    • Screening eligibility followed district guidelines regarding prior screening and hysterectomy status.

    Main Results:

    • 39 out of 82 companies participated; 91% of eligible women attended the mobile clinic.
    • Cervical smears were taken from 568 (55%) of 1038 attendees.
    • Fifteen women were diagnosed with cervical neoplasia, including nine with no recent screening and two with inadequate follow-up of previous abnormalities.

    Conclusions:

    • Workplace mobile screening, with health authority involvement, is a valuable adjunct to improve screening coverage for women over 40.
    • The program successfully identified cases of cervical neoplasia, underscoring the importance of accessible screening.
    • Integration of screening services into the workplace can enhance participation and facilitate early detection of gynecologic cancers.
