In the screening period, the call-in rate was 32.45% nationally, with the compliance of 8.26%. The occurrence of a positive result was 1.85% nationally, with the highest rate in Hajdú-Bihar county (7.24%). HPV infection was detected in 113 cases (0.45%) nationally, HPV prevalence was 37.44/100,000 persons. The willingness for participation among women was low concerning the indicators.
