Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the commonest gynecologic cancer in the developing world.
Over the past several decades, the incidence of cervical cancer has decreased in industrialized
countries. This is mainly attributed to increased awareness and more effective screening and
prevention strategies employed in these countries. Although there are evidence-based,
affordable, fewer resources requiring, feasible interventions to carry out in low-level health
facilities, and effective treatment modalities; the utilization of these screening methods is limited
in low-income countries like Ethiopia. Prevention of cervical cancer in low-resource settings can
be conducted by increasing the knowledge of cervical cancer screening and its practice by
primary health care professionals (1, 2)
