Abstract

This article is to help readers see how women in Nigeria need better access to cervical screening in order to prevent a higher and increasing rate of cervical cancer mortality within Nigeria. Women in Nigeria encounter obstacles to screening uptake include lack of awareness, fear of results, and little to no access to medical help, For this meta analysis, ten peer-reviewed articles with details on different Nigerian regions, women, and their access to cervical screening were used. The mortality rate of cervical cancer in Nigeria and the need to raise awareness of cervical screening were both topics covered in five articles.
