Abstract:
It has been 46 years since the launch of cancer control programs in India and yet the recent National Family Health Survey (fifth round, 2019-2021) has reported that just 1.9% of women aged 30-49 years have ever undergone cervical cancer screening. The cost of delayed diagnosis of cervical cancer and its treatment is overwhelming, and the rural population takes the worst hit. It is the need of the hour that the Indian health system and policymakers identify the barriers and facilitators for cervical cancer early detection and provide pragmatic solutions so that the targets of cervical cancer elimination can be achieved in a timely manner.
