According to the data of the Ministry of health, this fact is due to the lack of information on the part of women, as well as by the lack of a policy that allows for the recruitment of women, the Director of the examination and the treatment through appropriate techniques. Due to these factors, over 50% of cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed in its advanced stages, requiring treatment often mutilantes. The Government is seeking to reduce this problem. Proof of this is the program Viva Woman, aimed at the standardization of procedures and conduct that guarantee the quality of the technical and operational procedures for the control of cancer.
