Cervical Cancer Screening Utilization Among Female Health Workers in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Female health workers in Ethiopia face significant cervical cancer screening gaps despite their access and education, highlighting a missed opportunity to deploy them as local champions.
This systematic review and meta-analysis quantifies cervical cancer screening utilization among Ethiopian female health workers — a uniquely positioned population who both face screening gaps and could serve as change agents for broader implementation. Findings have direct implications for targeted screening programs in sub-Saharan Africa where cervical cancer mortality remains disproportionately high.
