Aumentar a captação de mulheres adultas para realizarem o exame citopatológico do colo do útero: plano de intervenção

Abstract

Cervical cancer is considered a national public health issue. It is the third most common form of cancer in women and is ranked the fourth cause of death in Brazil. This cancer can be detected early through a Pap test, which should be done every year, primarily for women between 25 and 64 years of age. A fundamental work strategy for all family health teams is to understand team indicators and to have a means of control regarding the women who do the annual preventive cervical cancer exam. Based on this data, team 2 of the Tupi Health Center was able to develop an intervention plan with the intention of finding women who had not done the Pap test last year. Thus, through well-structured teamwork and each professional working within their capacities, quality care will be given to women who are already sexually active.
