Lower the age of cervical screening to 18 years of age.

Petition Details

So I am starting this petition for mostly young mums like myself at 22 years of age. I have a family and want to make sure I am perfectly healthy for my family. Cancer has no age discrimination so why should their be a age restriction. I've friends who cervical cancer didn't discriminate against.

Additional Information

99.8% of cervical cancer cases could have been prevented in 2015.

3, 126 cases of cervical cancer cases in 2015.

854 deaths from cervical cancer just in 2016.
