NUMBER OF PAP SMEARSCREENING 2013 - MARCH 2018

WELLBEING OF WOMEN (WOW)

2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 March 18

The National Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB) has introduced a Pap Smear program that allows women to undergo screening services and it is available at any NPFDB's Nur Sejahtera Clinics or mobile clinics nation-wide.

Pap Smear screening will help women to detect any signs of precancerous or cancerous cells. With close monitoring and clinical follow-up session, cervical cancer can be detected at the early stages and be cured.

In order to increase the awareness among women on Cervical Cancer, a touch point project on Wellbeing of Women (WoW) had been organised by NPFDB which offers free Pap Smear screening throughout Malaysia from 1st September until 15th February 2018.
