Fund and require routine cervical screening every 2 yrs

Fund and require routine cervical screening every 2 yrs — 266 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

Reduce the wait time between cervical screening, including for possible cancer, by requiring routine testing every 2 years, fully funded. They are currently every 5 years after being at 3 years for a while, which I believe could be extremely dangerous to women's health.

Additional details

My mother died at 38 years old, from cervical cancer. She was the most amazing person; I am doing this for her. Cancer is one of the worst things that someone can go through. And cervical cancer is still dangerous and a massive threat. I think 5 years is far too long to wait, if you imagine how much could change in that period, and that routine testing every 2 years would help enable safe monitoring and save lives.
