Towards 90-70-90 targets: Individual and community level factors associated with cervical cancer screening among women of reproductive age in Tanzania: A multi-level analysis based on 2022 Tanzania demographic and health survey
Cervical cancer screening among women in Tanzania was low. Low uptake underscores the need for increased focus on addressing the coverage of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study would help policymakers create programs that consider education, employment, visiting health facilities, mobile phones, wealth, residence, and administrative zones, which would make women undergo cervical cancer screening. Pointing to women living with low cervical cancer screening could help increase their uptake and achieve the targets of the national and World Health Organization.
