Cervical cancer screening uptake in Arab countries: a systematic review with meta-analysis

202412 citationsOpen accessKafr el-Sheikh University

Abstract

This meta-analysis reveals a low overall cervical cancer screening uptake (18.2%) among Arab women. Key barriers such as lack of information, fear, the misconception of feeling healthy, and embarrassment hinder uptake. This alarmingly low rate underscores the urgent need for targeted interventions to address these barriers and promote awareness of early detection's life-saving potential.
