Cervical cancer screening is highly
cost effective, feasible, and culturally acceptable in
higher and lower income settings across the world. According
to the World Health Organization and the World Economic
Forum, screening for cervical cancer is an evidence-based
best buy prevention intervention (1). However, to be
effective in reducing cervical cancer incidence and
mortality, screening programs must be of high quality.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women
in India. In 2010, nearly 74,000 Indian women were newly
diagnosed with the disease and 34,000 women died (2).
Recognizing the challenge of cervical cancer in India, the
World Bank published a review of research on cervical cancer
prevention and implementation experiences of cervical cancer
screening programs in the country (3). The review found that
program effectiveness depends on the quality of screening
interventions. Cervical cancer screening programs are
effective when they achieve high coverage of the target
population, ensure high rates of follow-up of women who
screen positive, and provide services consistent with
established standards and guidelines. Screening program
quality, shaped by several factors described below,
influences these outcomes. |
