Estratégias de prevenção ao câncer de cólo de útero na UBS Osvaldo Firmino da Silva de Porto Esperidião/MT

Abstract

This study highlights the role of Primary Health Care (PHC) in promoting health and reducing inequalities in access to medical care for people with a uterus in Porto Esperidião, MT. In the context of the Unified Health System, Basic Health Units are essential for disease prevention and early diagnosis, especially in rural and border areas. Through actions such as regular Pap smear testing, APS not only facilitates the early detection of cervical cancer, but also promotes continuous health monitoring, helping to reduce mortality associated with this pathology. In addition to medical care, PHC plays a fundamental educational role, raising awareness about the importance of preventive exams and encouraging adherence to health services, promoting equity and expanding health coverage in regions that are difficult to access.
