From an equity perspective, cervical cancer is unequally distributed globally in ways that are unnecessary, avoidable and unjust. Although cost-effectiveness analyses demonstrate that prevention measures are justified in low-resource countries, affordability and lack of prioritisation have contributed to a lack of progress. This paper describes the inequities in cervical cancer disease burden, barries in access to and utilisation of services, and the underlying conditions of poverty and low socio-economic status that put women in s disadvantaged position. These social disadvantages are aggravated by the disease itself, with serious consequences for women, their families and communities. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
