Spatial distribution and characteristics of women reporting cervical cancer screening in Malawi: An analysis of the 2020 to 2021 Malawi Population-based HIV Impact Assessment survey data
The coverage of cervical cancer screening in Malawi remains low and unequal by region and wealth/education class. Current screening efforts are largely being focussed on women accessing HIV services. There is need for deliberate interventions to upscale cervical cancer screening in both HIV negative women and women living with HIV.
