Ibtihal Fadhil, Founder and Chair of Eastern Mediterranean NCD Alliance, Chair of MENA Coalition for HPV Elimination, and Former WHO Regional Advisor, shared a post on LinkedIn by WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), adding:
“Cervical cancer screening is both accessible and affordable, but it requires stronger engagement and prioritization from healthcare providers to drive awareness, uptake, and consistent attendance among women.”
Quoting WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO)’s post:
“When should women start screening for cervical cancer? How often should they be tested?
- Women usually undergo screening when they reach the age of 30. They should repeat the test every 5 to 10 years if they test negative.
- Immunocompromised women should be screened when they reach the age of 25. They should repeat the test every 3 years if they test negative.”
