Equity in awareness and utilization of cervical cancer screening services among women of reproductive age in Uganda: Analysis of vertical equity using evidence from UDHS 2022

2026Open accessMakerere University

Abstract

Uganda's cervical cancer screening services demonstrate significant vertical inequity, disproportionately favoring wealthier and urban women rather than being allocated according to greater need. To achieve elimination goals, deliberate policies must prioritize resource allocation and awareness for the poorer and rural women who bear the highest burden.
