| dc.description.abstract | Cervical cancer is the most prevalent gynecologic cancer. It is preventable and curable, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Yet it is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide and second in Ethiopia, with the disease claiming the lives of more than 340 000 women in 2020. Its incidence and burden are high in developing regions, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The World Health Organization plans to increase vaccination, screening, and treatment of cases to 90%, 70%, and 90%, respectively, in developing countries by 2030. Early screening for cervical cancer is a key intervention in reduction of maternal deaths. Health care workers have a significant contribution to improve cervical cancer screening practice among women. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess magnitude of utilization of cervical cancer screening and associated factors among female healthcare providers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia | |
