ABYSMALLY LOW NUMBER OF WOMEN IN INDIA UNDERGO SCREENING FOR CERVICAL CANCER
NEW DELHI: At a Roundtable Conference on Integrated Diagnostics & Women's Health, healthcare experts stressed on the need for early testing as abysmally low numbers of women in India undergo screening for cervical cancer.
The event, hosted by Mahajan Imaging & Labs, brought together distinguished medical professionals, social advocates, and industry leaders to discuss the pressing need for gender-sensitive health care policies and women-centric preventive diagnostics.
Alarmingly, statistics revealed that only 1 percent of women in India undergo screening for cervical cancer, a stark contrast to the World Health Organisation's target of 70 percent. Breast and oral cancer screening rates are similarly low, underscoring a significant gap in early detection efforts.
