Change the age of smear testing for women to age 20 not 25.
It should be allowed for women aged 20 and above to have a cervical smear test, as cervical cancer numbers are growing rapidly in younger women. There is very little education around this especially for teenage girls.
By the government lowering the age, this will prepare women early on and hopefully stop the number increasing in women having this dreadful disease. Help us eradicate this disease before it’s too late. Some women by the age of 25-29 it’s already too late.
