A roadmap to eliminate cervical cancer in Australia’s Indigenous communities
A new modelling study published in The Lancet Public Health examines the path to eliminating cervical cancer among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in Australia. The research indicates that urgent, effective action to improve culturally safe access to screening and follow-up care could markedly accelerate the elimination timeline for this population. The findings highlight a critical health inequity and provide a data-driven framework for targeted public health intervention.
