Lower the age that girls have to go for a smear test
Lower the age that girls have to attend a smear test from 25 to 18.
The minimum age for a smear test is too high and girls can get cervical cancer before the age of 25, by then it could be too late.
I personally know people who have pre cancer cells which were found accidentally, if she’d have waited till 25 for her smear it would have been too late.
Too many girls are going undiagnosed because they are being refused a test until they are 25
