Background: One of the purposes of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is promoting health with a target to reduce one-third of deaths from non-communicable diseases through prevention. Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the cervix or uterus that comes from 90% of squamous cells lining the cervix and the remaining 10% comes from mucus-producing gland cells in the cervical canal leading into the uterus. Cervical cancer is the second killer of women worldwide after breast cancer. One effort to reduce cervical cancer is by conducting an early detection.
